[Milsurplus] Loran revival?

[Michael Bittner]

Yes, should be completely reversible.  The hole at center top is for a fuse 
holder, hole at center bottom is for a pilot light, and hole at bottom right 
is for a toggle switch for selecting 110 VAC, 60 Hz or 80 VAC 2400 Hz power. 
I have no clue what the added diodes and electrolytics below the chassis are 
for, possibly to provide DC power to some other equipment via the loose 
connector shown in the pix?

My own CV-27 ran perfectly right out of its overseas packing, thanks to 
oil-filled caps instead of electrolytics.  Wish I still had the old APN-4 
that I once had, to try out with my CV-27, but I converted it in accordance 
with the Surplus Conversion Manual, Vol 3 and then eventually sold it.  This 
was back when the only thing people thought of, regarding surplus military 
gear, was conversion rather than preservation.
