[MRCA] GRC-106 "Lost Mine"

[J Mcvey]

 A few years ago, Someone gave me a number of this old guy who had containers full of of military surplus equipment. The only problem was he thought it was made of gold and platinum.He wanted $1500 for an ART-13, etc.It will all probably end up in a scrap yard to become aToyota.I have seen rare antique cars rust to nothing for the same reasons.

Is that what you are up against with this location?

Have been working on knocking out problems with a lot of AN/GRC-106 sets lately and like everything else it always comes down to needing parts that are hard to find. Several parts that are unique to the 106 include the switching transistors for the HV and B+ supplies and the contact assemblies for the plate tank or Stator assembly.
 
Like all good lost mine stories there is always somewhere or someone that people say have the parts, radios or whatever and are just stacked up in huge mounds waiting for someone to come and take them.
 
I believe that I may have found one of those lost mines of radios, the mythical pile just sitting there. The issue now is trying to find a way of removing items from that location and working out an exchange that’s to everyone’s benefits.
 
As always there is some scant evidence of the “lost mine” and to that end thought I would post some pictures of the mythical place.
 
At this point it’s yet to be seen if any of this equipment will be rescued or just allowed to be overgrown completely and just disappear in the next couple years.
