Jeep,
Order instructions sent direct.
The legs used with the SCR-177 and SCR-188 chests are larger than the LG-8-A
used with the CH-38. Which is unfortunate as I have a couple of the RA-34
chests. I do have the LG-8-A dimensions.
The six binding posts on the transmitter and four of the six on the modulator
are the same size. They are all much larger than the two on the receiver. I
have a parts receiver, transmitter and modulator, all already missing some
parts. No nameplates. Only the receiver still has a meter. Etc. However, all
of the large binding posts are still present.
