[MRCG] Cavalry Radios = The Other Cavalry

Was there another radio, perhaps lovingly referred to as the "Horsy-Talky"? 

I believe it was a small square box (6x6x6") with a repackaged BC-611.  below the box was a straight shaft that would fit into the stirrup or some other part of the horse stuff  <?>.  Above the box was a longish whip.  The horse mounted operator had a headset, chest microphone and PTT.

I am looking for a few of the quarter-turn fasteners for the DY-88 case.  Does anybody know of a source for those?  Do you have a junker case in the pile that has a few that I can clean up and use?  These are notoriously "over-torqued" and the lips of the fastener flared, or the sides of the butterfly knob busted out.  I have a few that need to be replaced. 

I forgot that you can't attach pics to the distribution email.  Here is the link to the webpage with a picture of the 107th Calvary regiment operating a horse-packed radio (you'll have to scroll down to near the bottom to see it).  I don't recognize the radio...I think it is an SCR-203 (BC-228 transmitter, the BC-227 receiver, and BC-235 control box).

      Interesting pictures.  I think GE's publicity department hired 
some models for a couple, for instance the second picture.  Too cute, 
also wearing dresses and high heels and long hair with no covering.   I 
rather think coveralls and snoods were more likely. Nice cheesecake. 
      The last picture shows a Hallicrafters Sky Buddy.   I can't help 
with the cavalry radios.

Someone brought one of the sets with horse/mule pack rig several years 
ago to MRCG  in FB condition. It might have been Lynn Smith but am not 
sure. Yep, Bjorn has the horse but WA6OPE or W6DJX have the stock number 
for the shoes ~(;^)=

The set  was the SCR 178 Field set . The mule pack set is the SCR 179 and the only difference is the cases as the one for the mule has additional hardware to secure it to the frame that goes on the mule. 
It was Brian  Thompson NI6Q who had it there at the Meet back then.

Paul, 
   Thanks for that! I just remember it being a great display in like new
