It is not very likely that you will ever find such a thing.

A few exist that somehow got kept out of use when owned by the Navy or
Coast Guard.  But most RT-91/ARC-2 and RT-298/ARC-2A units had long service
life.  I saw some still in use at NAS Corpus Christi in 1972.  They will
definitely show signs of use...and if it's the older RT-91, it most likely
will have been field-modified to have some of the characteristics of the
RT-298, like fuses added to the front panel and the disabling the RF ammeter.

The mounting rack and the control boxes are very scarce.

It's a visually very attractive set, even when not in NIB condition.

Good luck.
