I think it would be a real challenge to ever find the control box for the MN-26LB.
Someone step in and help my memory: didn't Fair or G&G have this model at one time? And also not have the correct control box ?
I very vaguely remember seeing it in some catalog or magazine ad way back when and considering it, but as I recall, the control box concern dissuaded me.

That's the most interesting MN-26 variant, IMO.  It's not just another common LF/MF RDF MN-26...its band 3 is an MF/HF communications band that can not be used for RDF.

Band 1   200 ro  410 kHz
Band 2   550 to 1200 kHz
Band 3  2900 to 6000 kHz

It has a 28 vdc internal dynamotor.  It receives A1, A2, A3.

There is no military nomenclature on it but its official JAN nomenclature is AN/ARN-11, which is on its USAAF operating and maintenance manuals.

It's an interesting set that's not very common, compared to the MN-26C.  I hope it gets a good home.  The asking price is a give-away.
