Business landed me in Baton Rouge last week and listmember John
Hensley suggested taking a look at USS Kidd DD-661. Good visit! The
nice folks there let me into Radio Central to take photos (mostly
1950's era gear, but they want to restore it back to 1945 vintage)

I found a few items I hadn't seen before -
Here's a TCS Adapter - It was made by SF Shipyard, but I can't make
out the model number.
It is not externally the same as the MX-1743/SRC but probably serves
the same function

And a RadioPhone Unit on the bridge - any idea what model? another
shipyard special?
