Will someone please give me the dimensions of the TRC-10 radio ?

I have one, but without cabinet, oh woe is me, and minus the connector on front, which i can replace with a BC-654 connector.

I know William Howard had a cabinet built by a sheet metal professional for his own TRC-10, but i have not seen it, and i cannot

believe it was a convincing replica. The original cabinet has spaces for key and spares and so on.

 

I saw in a French book about WW2 Resistance radios a photo of a PRC-1 in a suitcase larger than the radio. Most PRC-1 have

a well fitting suitcase, but this one had some metal skirts around the radio to build out the radio to fit the larger suitcase.

 

I saw a small suitcase in an antique store and this got me to thinking about doing the same thing. Making some metal skirting

for the radio to build it into a smallish civilian suitcase.  The TRC-10 i have is too nice, really, to just use as a parts set. A suitcase

would not be strictly authentic for the TRC-10, which was really only supplied in the military metal cabinet, but it’s better than

nothing.

 

The TRC-10 is basically the same radio as the PRC-1, but….according to my docs, of meetings with Pilot Radio engineers and

military reps, it looks like the war was coming to its end before the TRC-10 actually had the design and corrections finalized

and was maybe never deployed. I have the AC  power supply and the antenna kit also.
