[MRCA] TRC-10 crystal case (48 crystals)

[Mike Morrow]

The AN/TRC-10 is a late-WWII small (14-lbm) modern 20 watt CW-only 2 to 12 MHz receiver-transmitter.  The RT-46/TRC-10 receiver is tunable, the transmitter is crystal controlled, hence your CY-277/TRC-10 crystal set with CR-5B/U crystals.

The manual is here:

The manual includes a list of the frequencies of supplied crystals.

RECEIVER
RF     6SK7
MIXER  6SA7
IF     6SK7
BFO    Half 6SL7
DET    Half 6SL7
AF     6J5

TRANSMITTER
MO     6V6
PA     2E22

It can be powered from:
G-4/TRC-10      Hand-crank Generator
PP-74/TRC-10    115 to 230 vac Rectifier
PP-84/TRC-10    6 vdc Vibrator.

It uses 6-volt indirectly-heated cathode tubes, just like the earlier AN/PRC-5 ac-powered 10 watt 4-16MHz "suitcase" set.

It is a very rare set.  At auction any component could bring a good price.
