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

[radioman390 at cs.com]

the photos are great, but a lot of the equipment appears to be test equipment by Marconi (UK), HP, and even a General Radio VTVM. I see a Collins R-390 (non-A) and several R-1051s.

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a stairway landing, which 8 Collins R-390s    (or 390As) in a rack: the room could not be entered because the door had been    replaced by a thick plexiglass sheet allowing looking but no touching; there    was no operator position, so I assume audio was fed elsewhere.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,
