I've narrowed my involvement with WWII Infantry rigs
to just a few, including BC-474 (SCR-288).

Currently toodling around 80/40 mtrs with one:

Things I need for this rig:
Any canvas
(BG-130, BC-131 I've been told; manual doesn't say).
Battery cover for the receiver battery.
Three more of the four-pin, bakelite TX power connectors.
They're the same ones used with SCR-131, -151 etc.
Please note this is not a "four-pin tube socket;"
the pins on this plug are larger and off-set:

Also: Does anyone have one of those GRC-109
power supplies they'd like to sell or trade
after I recover from my annual Christmas mugging?
If you drop the 450 volt out down to about 300,
they make dandy AC supplies for this rig and
for many others.
Thanks and best for the holidays,
