[Milsurplus] [Army-Radios] Nonmagnetic TCS cabinet ?

[robert meadows]

It was stainless steel for not rusting not magnetic properties as the radios were often installed on a weather deck

Maybe two decades ago i sold a TCS, Navy radio cabinet. It was nonmagnetic. Cabinet only, no radio had i ever with it.
 
Reading a WSJ article about Iran’s sea mines reminded me of this.
But - - a nonmagnetic cabinet TCS, when you still had the engine below the radio deck ? And transformers and such
 
inside the radio – lots of magnetic material ? This makes me wonder. I tend to disbelieve that this special cabinet
 
was for anti – sea mine purposes. What say ye ? I don’t remember that the cabinet had any  ‘ -number ‘ suffix marking
 
inside to identify it.
