Here are pictures of my new RU-19 set, which I just unpacked today:

Does the RU-19 use the same kinds of spline shafts and fittings as the command sets for its tuning drive? I gather that the local tuning crank is different (larger, and marked differently). But would shafts, right-angle adapters, and other such stuff be the same?

I've learned that the RU-19 + GP-7 set that I'm assembling would have been a correct set for one of the SBD-3 Dauntless dive bomber configurations. It would not have used an interphone amplifier, but it would have included an LM-7 frequency meter and DU-1 direction finding loop. So, it looks like I need an LM-7 and DU-1 to complete my set now!
