[GreenKeys] Signal Corps Equipment

[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Many warbird people I have met lately hollow the stuff out  and   use it to 
stash brochures in or  have a lightened  for  better  fuel mileage    but 
looks like  the real  thing...  I refused to sell  a radar  display  for this 
 exact reason to  one of them ...  I did put  him  on  a list in case a 
already gutted  carcuss  shows  up  though.  An excellent canadate  for these  
folks  is  something the front panel looks  spec.  but  empty  otherwise...
 
Now  there are full restorations    where every  thing is   right on and  
everything must be  complete...  that is another story...

The transmitter appeared to perhaps  be original (though missing a cover 
plate) but the little receiver has been  ham-modified and so may not be of 
interest to the warbird restoration  community except as spare parts. Or so it 
seems....a few more photos may  reveal alterations to the transmitter as 
well. Penciled markups on the  transmitter may be hints that changes were made 
and that was how they were  'documented'. Ham-altered units wouldn't be good 
museum candidates. But there  may be hams happy to get their hands on 
already altered units for  restorations, space parts, or to put on-the-air.

Yes indeed.  Many thousands of those SCR-274N airplane radios were 
 made for WW-II, but most of them have been butchered.  So a good place 
 for them is some group doing an authentic restoration of an old 
 airplane.
