[Milsurplus] Red face TU

[Michael Hanz]

I suspect it was simply a TU-60 with a locally painted red front panel.  
The TU-60 was a simple  wobbulator driven TU for the BC-191 and BC-375.  
It's the only one I have in the directories I have here, and was 
apparently not very effective against its intended target, because none 
of the later directories mention it.  Attached are three photos of the 
one from August Link's collection.
