[Milsurplus] CD-361

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

Yes.  The missing pin is pin 33.  Not used in GN-57, 58, 58A and G-43.  In 
all other supplies, it is 105 VDC STANDBY.  Used when you have only the 
receiver on.  With the Generators, receiver B+ in STANDBY is supplied by BA-48.  
With all other installations, it comes from the supplies.

Too bad that they are all the same CD number.  There aren't that many M3A1 
Scout Cars still to be restored I don't think.  However, any radio collector 
who has a BC-223-A or -AX and wants to get them running could use it.  As I 
think that I said earlier, cable length varies with vehicle.  But on the 
bench, it usually wouldn't matter much.  Three and a half of them should be 
worth a DY-88.  When I get caught up some, I'll check what I have left in 
DY-88's and DY-105's.

I always thought that the shells were brass.  But I have seen two or three 
that had cracked.  However, they definitely are not pot metal.  That term 
gets used much too loosely in spite of the fact that it is fairly well 
defined.
