[Milsurplus] TCK-4

[Bruce Gentry]

Are you going to try to find an original power supply or MG set, or 
build one?  The MG set would be big and noisy, but the cool factor would 
make up for that many times over. How accurate  are the frequency dials 
and how stable is the TCK once the oscillator oven is warmed up?  Being 
in Syracuse, anything General Electric gets aheads up from me. In the 
case of the TCK, I would guess it was built in Schenectady or possibly 
Lynn, Mass. Electronics Park didn't exist until 1947, but there was a 
major plant here building steam turbo-electric drives for WW2 destroyers 
and also where the USA's first jet engines were developed and tested.
