Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply!
Small world, I was the one who "won" the Facebook Marketplace race, the URC-32 is now in my warehouse aka garage.
The WRT-2 definitely looked older/harder to cable, we could not move it and we tried to disassemble it unsuccessfully.
Thanks for sharing my contact info with your mailing list, I'm happy to facilitate shipping to anyone interested in this kind of equipment.

Yesterday someone on a ham radio email list posted a link to the Facebook Marketplace photos of that WRT-2 and URC-32. Several folks commented that they wished they lived closer. I don’t know whether anyone was seriously interested or not.
As I recall, the WRT-2 takes 3-phase power which most people don’t have, so it’s not very sought after except by a really serious/crazy collector or museum. I wouldn’t mind having one but I am 3000 miles away!
The URC-32 will run off 115v single phase and I know a number of people who have restored and operate them, including me.
I have scans of the manuals for both on my website.
I’ll let people know to contact you for the units or components.
Hi Nick,
I own a small electronics recycling company near Portland Oregon and I
recently came across some old radios. A google search brought me to
your website, could you tell me if anything in the attached pictures
could be interesting for you or in general?
(I took pictures and plan to go back to my customer next week if
anything is worth something, we could not figure out how to remove the
components from the rack)
I also have a complete(?) AN/URC-32 with rack and cabling that we were
able to disassemble and transport/
thanks in advance for your kind response
