To All,

The above listed R648/ARR41 S/N 573, one of several recently located,(and
they are all right here), in an old aircraft warehouse is available, with or
without the proper and correct MT-1518/ARR41.

The R648 is functional, with dirty contacts on band switch and the gain
control is noisy.  The Dynamotor Power supply has been serviced IAW the Navy
tech manual 120 hour service.

Checked for function today:  Calibrator is operational, received signals on
the frequency shown with a short piece of wire at the end of a piece of RG58
coax, this in the shop with a metal roof.

There is dust on the chassis and in the case from long term storage as well
as use in the P-3A aircraft of which the history of the aircraft is noted
above.  The case is marked in grease pencil 

STA 300, which indicated the location in the fuselage from which weight and
balance is calculated, and the notation AC390 which is normal NAVY practice
for noting the aircraft using the last three digits of the Bureau Number
(BUNO).  The tools, Bristol wrenches, screwdriver and tube pullers are not
present, surely removed by the first in flight technician to remove the
radio from its case.  Underside of the chassis is quite clean.  In operation
one can hear the dynamotor whine in the audio, normal and not objectionable.

 

The Overhaul/service tag indicates the year and quarter of service at what
was Naval Air Rework Facility Alameda (California)

 

The R648/ARR15 is $650, and the "as removed" MT-1518/ARR15 is $175; I have
several .  NEW OLD STOCK with tags MT1518/ARR15 mounts are available at $250
each.  Shipping dependent on your location, however none of the material may
be exported without a proper End User Certificate and authorization to
Export from either Department of State or Department of Commerce depending
on the current and changing ITAR/other definitions of the commodity code for
this radio and mount. 

 

I do believe I have captured the last remaining serviceable/as removed
radios that have not been "diddled with", just stored for a long time.

 

Payment via cash, check, money order, shipping to be determined.
