[Milsurplus] BC-929 Shock Mount

[J. Forster]

The BC-929-A is the Rebecca Indicator. I've got several and they do show
on eBay every now and then.

Recently, there was one that had been "converted"...  a LOT! OTOH, it did
have the scarce viewing hood.

The test set was more than the BC-1066. There was also frequency meter,
BC-906-? (C or D, I don't recall) and a signal generator. The whole kit
was the IE-46 I think.

All three of those items show up often on eBay, often almost NOS in
canvass bags.

BTW, some used BA-2 batteries for B+, hence my interest in battery glue.

A Rebecca also needs 3, hard to find, antennas,,,  one vertical and a pair
of two-element Yagis.
