[Milsurplus] RM-52 for AR-8510 RCA LF Receiver

[Richard]

The RM-52 is some kind of battery control panel, and would have been 
used in an RCA 3U or 4U console, probably.  The AR-8510 was used in 
consoles, and also in a box with shock mounting for separate use.  I 
have one, and it works very well.  A few years ago I worked a Canadian 
cross-band, 80 to 630 Meters, listening on the AR-8510.  It was nice 
hearing to it talk to me.  There isn't much intelligible to listen to 
down there now.  Aircraft beacons are disappearing, and the long-wave 
broadcasting stations from Europe are usually too weak to be 
intelligible.  I use it to listen to the annual Christmas Eve broadcast 
from SAQ on 17.2 Kc. (SAQ, the last operating rotating machine 
transmitter, in service since 1924, in Sweden)

I found a thing labeled "RM-52" and "NPR-295" for the RCA receiver 
AR-8510. This is a panel only type thing with a

voltmeter and I am wondering if it was intended to mount into some kind 
of console, or has it been robbed of its own

cabinet? Did the AR-8510 come in two configs, one for installation in 
large mounting and another as standalone with its

own shockmounts ?

I am unfamiliar with the "NPR-" designation; anyone know what that 
refers to ? I did not get the

receiver itself and have scant chance of actually finding one, so this 
item is actually pretty useless to me. Thanks- H M
