[R-390] Rack Mount, and GREAT POSTINGS..

[jlap1939@yahoo.com]

Friends,

I have an old AF rack..holds 4(.5) radios that are the
size of  a 390 or 600..I have screws that were in it
orig. so I don't know how they are meas.,. but they
are the orig. it appears to me, that came in the
rack..they do match very well..Wonder if any knows the
correct nomen. for those screws?? The rack is on heavy
casters..It also has removable panels/ top and sides,
I assume for access etc..

I have 390 on top, SP 600 next, and Teleregister amp
on bottom..Works well as I usually run the 390 alone,
'till I warm up the 600. (Am stopping that now.)
listening to 390 thru headset...Since I am almost
always on the 390 'till I get lazy, and start sloppy
band cruising, heat doesn't build up while the 390 is
on..

Tried to get some info on racks before, but no one
seemed interested..

Mine Is: Rack Mount 452/AF
         Kane Mfg. Co.
         Order #32174
         Phila - 55

The D- thing weighs more than the 390 and teleregister
together...(Has extra panels to fill in..and they are
thick as a 390 ft. panel, and heavy..) Never saw this
kind of mount in army units that I was in...but saw
something sim. on my one visit to Monmouth early '61..
Also saw several taller than a man, and one that went
to ceiling, (at Drum on an encampment in summer of
(maybe "63?)). Wonder about shipboard methods..?? 

Any one want to mention racks they have or have seen?
I would be interested in knowing...but don't worry if
you are not interested...

Also want to mention how I have enjoyed the material
all of you put in postings...They are generally very
good..!! My thanks as a novice person for the
interesting and useful info!

My Regards,   John   (JLAP)
