[MRCA] PRC-74B

[Ray Fantini]

Here is something you don't see every day, this is a PRC-74B that just came into the shop that was depo overhauled in 1987 with all new accessories, apparently never issued. Looks like they were maintaining and depo refitting these things a lot longer then I thought. Been told some were still in use as late as the early nineties. Do want to try to locate a good looking battery box for it. The radio and all its assorted stuff was in one box, including things like a accessory pack and the long wire antennas but no battery box, not any place for it in the box so assume that somehow the battery and battery box were shipped separate?

Always amazed by things that show up that have been thru depo level overhaul, never issued and somehow remained all intact until today. In the last couple years have had been able to work on a  depo fresh KWM-2A, a AN/PRC-70 and now this AN/PRC-74
