I know of a possible buyer for the TMC GPT-10K. I reached out to KL7OF but haven't heard back as yet.

Hi Nick.. Hope this finds you well.  Re; the above emails about the GPT
10K,  It has been almost 2 years since I offered the TX for sale at $4000.
A lot has changed in my life and I still want to sell the TX.  The price is
very negotiable.. somewhere around $1000 will buy it...
I  have single phase and 3 phase transformers  for it.. I can help load.
Thanks and 73  Steve KL7OF

Hi Steve. Good to hear from you and glad to hear there is a GPT-10K on the
air. Boy, TMC made some great gear. I?ll ask around about your transmitter.
Is it OK if I post to the TMC email list?
I operate an SBT-1K but that?s about the biggest rig that would fit in my
shack?.

Hi Nick..

   My name is Steve  and my call is Kl7of.  I really enjoy all the work you
have put into showing and documenting TMC and other radios and associated
gear.  Keep up the good work?   I have been using a GPT 10-K on the ham
bands for about 10 years.  I haven?t been using it much the last couple
years and I would like to sell it to someone that will use it?  It is set
up to run at reduced power on single phase  and I have the 3 phase plate
transformer as well.  The transmitter is located in my shack in Tumtum,
WA.  I can send some pictures if you would like.  I would like to see this
transmitter back on the air and I?m sure there is someone that would enjoy
having it.. Perhaps you know of such an individual or where would be the
best place to advertise this transmitter.   I am asking $4000 for the TX
FOB my shack..  Thanks for looking and keep up the good work.

Attached is scan of photo i recently bought, image and reverse side text. This will be one of WW2 three overseas uses of the SCR-195 ( BC-322 ) radio i have noted.
One was use in Iceland for guard duty or training; of course, that was not a combat use. The second was a photo image on the back cover of the Time - Life WWII
series, book on the Italian Campaign. So this is number 3. I am taking an educated guess that these are FFE ( 'Free French'  ) soldiers and that the USA was giving
the FFE army some of their hand-me-downs, in this case semi-obsolete or "limited standard" i think it was maybe called.
My father said when he hit southern France in the invasion, their 90 mm gun battalions equipment was given to France, given i say; and that "there was not that
much of the Luftwaffe left to shoot down", and he was reassigned to field repair with an armored convoy.
Oh, wait, make that 4. I have a photo of the SCR-195 use in CBI by our allies.

I am not an expert in uniforms and so on - is there anything in the photo itself that helps cinch the case that these were FFE soldiers?
-Hue Miller

I have a somewhat more pixels scan, not posted here, of only some 280 kb, that i will forward on request.
