Thanks for the lengthy reply and info Mark.I really appreciate it. That's kind of what I was thinking and afraid of when I started on this ART-13 & BC-348 journey. I'm basically be paying as much to ship this transmitter as I paid to acquire it and its accessories, so I wanted to get a few other opinions. It looks like I may be okay with the price, but I'll update this list once it all arrives and I have time to inspect it all. I do have some manuals and drawings. I even have access to a fellow HAM who actually worked on/maintained these radios on B29 bombers. He's 96 and still very capable of teaching and showing me how to work on these. He's a wonderful resource and friend. I'll post links to pics once I get everything setup for a family photo :-)

To get started on your radio restoration, the first thing you do is get the manuals.  The manuals will give you an idea as to what kind of shopping list you will need to put together to get the job done.

I'm new to collecting and working on these radios, so I'm wondering what I might expect to pay for a "working" Navy ATC (ART-13) with its dynamotor, mounting rack, and connectors in excellent condition? I have 2 ART-13 transmitters that need inspection, testing and some parts to get them working once I learn enough about working on these radios. I have another, like new, dynamotor for one of these as well. I want to buy the ATC because it is closer to plugging in and using until I fix my other transmitters and receivers I've accumulated. What's the going price for one of these ATC radios? I'm trying to decide if shipping will make it prohibitive based on value, but my desire always seems to justify these things even when shipping/packing is outrageous LOL.

 

Thanks,
