Man you better jump on that cause I don’t think you are going to find a better radio for that deal! There were a ton of ARB receivers out there years ago but all had been hacked, several by me.

Mark, I have what I believe to be unhacked ARB with internal dynamotor.  I successfully operated it from the dynamotor many years ago but it’s been a hangar queen for over 20 years now.  The only thing I know not to be original is the band switch.  The original S shaped one fell off, and is probably hiding under a bench somewhere here.  I replaced it with a large diamond shaped knob which I believe came off a B-17 type intercom circuit selector switch.  If it is truly destined to be installed to end up in a TBF Avenger, I will donate it to the effort.  BTW is has a T type coupler at the tuning cable socket on the front panel, with a local tuning knob and a parallel connection point for a remote control head cable.  It also has a matching cable connector (no cable) that mates with the front panel remote control multi pin connector.  Also has its mounting rack.

Here is a photo of it:

Where will the Avenger be restored/home

fielded, and who is the associated warbird group?

Would be very happy to donate this ARB to such a project.

Another long shot.  Anybody have a WW2 USN ARB receiver they would be willing to sell?  I need something that hasn't been hacked. The control boxes and the coffee grinders are not needed. This ARB would be destined to be installed in a TBM Avenger.  Any help is appreciated.
