Hi Bill:

I have an older SCR-578 WW2 Era Gibson Girl survival transmitter, in working order, with the signal lamp assembly that fits on the top of the head of the operator when sitting in the lifeboat. It also comes with some spare antenna wire assemblies, the crank and the big yellow belt. Price is $150 for all, plus shipping.

If you haven't found a light assembly someplace else, maybe this can help you out!

All the best,

Jim

Subject: [MRCA] USS Wisconsin (BB64) Museum Ship - Trying Locate The Light Kit For AN/CRT-3 (Gibson Girl) Survival Transmitter

The USS Wisconsin has a nice working AN/CRT-3 Gibson Girl survival transmitter displayed on the ship. It however is missing the signal light assembly. It would really be nice to locate one to complete the setup.

We are trying to locate one and would appreciate any assistance.

Thank You,
