[Milsurplus] radio rooms aboard USS Iowa BB-61?

Yes  the Plexi is a good  idea...
things  get stolen...

sad thing is... some of it is  just  cleptos  
but probably  most of the thefts that occur  are  from 
other people that  have Gear. Now that is  really  sad....

Hi...
A long time ago, before the Intrepid first became  a floating museum in 
NYC, I wandered about at bit, and ran across a room,  maybe 8 by 10 feet at the 
end of a stairway landing, which 8 Collins R-390s  (or 390As) in a rack: 
the room could not be entered because the door had been  replaced by a thick 
plexiglass sheet allowing looking but no touching; there  was no operator 
position, so I assume audio was fed elsewhere.
I vaguely  recall that the room was at the outside wall of the 
superstructure, so maybe  the mass of the 390s was designed to provide some protection. 
I was there  to check out the written script for the audio tour against 
walking times so  the cassettes could be cut to the proper length for mass 
duplication. Pity I  didn't save one, as I was the first narrator for the test  
runs.

I didn't realize any were open. 
I went to the  Lexington in corpus last year and never saw anything. 

I would be  interested in knowing about any naval ships that are available 
for tour that  have a radio shack open and set up with equipment for 
viewing.  

Especially the knox class frigates 

Thanks,

Hi gang - I'm headed west to LA for a week and I've got  this Saturday free 
- does anyone know if the radio spaces aboard the Iowa (in  San
Pedro) are open? 
Or know anyone I could contact about a visit. Or  know of anything else I 
shouldn't miss.... 
thanks,
