[MRCA] Radio Technology Museum Wants

[Al Klase]

Gang,

We did a preview opening of our WWII Tactical Communication Display last 
Sunday to coincide with the InfoAge VJ-day observance.  You can see a 
few grab shots here: http://www.rtm.ar88.net/Tac_Comm/Tac_Comm.html

We intend to cover wire line and radio relay (ANTRAC) as well as the 
usual radio stuff.  There are a number of thing we're looking for.

We have the TX and RX for an AN/TRC-8 on display.  Need an AS-52/TRC-8 
antenna, just the corner reflectors, no room for the mast.   Has anyone 
held on to a CF-1 multiplexer to go with it?  That's sure to be a heavy 
beast.  Closer to New Jersey is better.  I guess I'd switch to AN/TRC-1 
if one showed up.

SCR-508 Tank Radio:  Need a mount.  A proper tanker helmet would be a 
good thing too.

One of the Jeep Radios SCR-509/510/609/610 and an SCR-300 walkie-talkie 
would help complete the FM picture. (BTW, this is the site where 
Armstrong demonstrated the regen receiver to David Sarnoff in 1914.)

Wire and Cable:  Looking for some short sections of WWII field- and 
assault-wire.  Would also like to have samples of spiral-four cable to 
compliment the ANTRAC.

SCR-694:  Need a real BC-1306 rather than the ersatz RT-77/GRC-9 in the pix.

The crazy stuff:  (People in Hell want ice water.)  M-94 or M-209 cipher 
devices.

Budget is limited, so don't expect to make a big score.  We are a 
501-C-3 corp. if the donation angle works for you.

Thanks in advance,
Al
