[Milsurplus] TA-12 XMTR in Pairs?

[Hubert Miller]

My MS Outlook locked me out, and I found no online solution that worked, after endlessly reading "Community"  "solutions", looking at registry
entries, etc.  You just gotta love Microsoft, and then one day you don't. 

So anyway that's why my attention to this old email. When the tide is out, you discover old things.

If anyone is really into replicating a Bendix air radio station, I do have an interphone. I think it is a 3611 and it's in VG condition. I think I have the
manual also, altho the hard copy stays with me. The 3611 has a built-in dynamotor and I was thinking of cabling the thing to actually power up
a Bendix RA-1 receiver. However I'm pretty sure I will sell of the 2 RA-1 I have.

>BTW, a photo of the 3616 for the TA-12 is attached for those interested.

Ah!  Okay, that's part of a series of WWII Bendix Interphone systems (IM-2, IM3, etc.) that included a bunch of components which provided flexible control over a variety of comms equipment.  The heart of the system was a 3 watt interphone amplifier with the designation 3611.  The original 3616 was tailored for the TA-12, but the 3616B included the capability for controlling 8 channels - presumably to accommodate the TA-2 variants.  See attached three page pdf that shows only the 3616 but mentions the difference between it and the 3616B.  I can send you a higher resolution version if you wish, but it's over a megabyte.  

The junction box was commonly a part of Bendix products, a marketing strategy to eliminate the need for an engineer to worry about such things when adapting the system to an aircraft.  What you received was a complete system when you wrote out the check.  All you needed to do was provide the cables.
