[Milsurplus] SCR-608/508 antenna base?

[Dennis DuVall]

Looks like you have either the MP-37 or the MP-48 Mast Base, the latter unit  had a coaxial connector cable running up through it's center.  In some installations
the MP-37 was mounted on top of  tubular Mast Base Bracket MP-52. The three antenna mast sections used were MS-51, MS-52 and MS-53, but only MS-52 & 53
were used when the MP-52 was also included in the installation.  In a shipboard installation I would guess that the MP-48 (coax fitting at the bottom) and all three 
mast sections would have been used.

Hard t determine the condition of your unit from the picture.

Info from TM 11-620, 1 January 1944.
