[Milsurplus] MRC-108/GRC-153 For Sale

[Bruce Gentry]

   I have a very nearly complete MRC-108/GRC-153 setup and a great deal 
of extra radios, cases, control boxes and the test sets for sale, 
located in Syracuse, New York. I have collected all of these items since 
the 1990s, but my interests have changed and I would like to find them a 
home. Most of them have never been powered up, they are all in good 
untested and unrestored condition.  It is is a later version of the 
MRC-107/108,  the builder's plate says it is a GRC-153.   The main 
differences are the pallet is solid rather than open frame, and the 
control boxes for the radios mount to the fronts of the weatherproof 
boxes instead of being in the frame. They are also waterproof.   I have 
one complete setup except for the pole type VHF antenna and the 
fiberglass HF antenna poles. It consists of: one box with a Collins 
618-T in it and control box on the front, one box with an ARC-58 and a 
Wilcox 807 (or, alternatively, a Collins 618 VHF rig), the antenna 
tuner, the antenna base, three amplified loudspeakers, and all of the 
major cables. There are mounts for a PRC-41 and PRC-47, as well as for 
an RT-524. In addition to the complete rig, I have at three of the 
weather proof boxes with radios in them , extra control boxes, a few 
extra 618-T transceivers, at least one extra ARC-51 and a few parts for 
them, and extra Wilcox 807, one or more extra Collins 618 vhf rigs, at 
least one extra antenna base/switch, an extra antenna tuner, and some 
hardware. In addition to all of these, I have a control box assembly 
intended to remote control two of the HF transceiver boxes and the 
cables to connect them, the test set for the Collins 618-T, and will 
include a PRC-47,  PRC-41, and an RT-524 with the cables, antenna and 
tuner, and antenna mount.  If you want them, there are 1 1/2  and  3KW 
28 volt gas  generators and a 200 amp alternator that will supposedly 
mount on an M-151.  I have spent a good deal on all of these, and want   
$5000.00 for it all, but willing to negotiate.  Except for the PRC-47, 
PRC-41, RT-524 and it's accessories, the generators and alternator, I 
will not separate  the batch at this time,  I really want to sell it all 
at once. Pictures are available if you are interested.
