Hi Guys-
NOTE- I MAY CONSIDER SELLING THESE RADIOS AS SETS: SCR-287, SCR-274N, etc. if I receive the right offers...7/16/09
Due to financial needs and frustration with how my displays have been going(...) I have decided to sell off the entirety of my WWII USAAF Heavy Aircraft Communications Radio gear. It is, quite literally, enough equipment to outfit 95% of a B-17, B-24, B-25, B-26, C-47, C-46, etc radio room with original radios. Everything being sold as a GROUP only, as is.
The equipment is in mainly good shape, and should be operable without too much work: I have been trying to get together stuff to have a fully working radio display, but have not had time to go through and get everything operable as yet. However, if you have a radio guy(and there are a lot of us) who knows what he's doing, simple operations should get it all up and on-line. Otherwise, it is a great static display for a restored aircraft, and one stop shopping for the whole radio room. The only thing I do not have is the antennas, except for a 104B for the SCR-522 gear.
This is a partial listing for now, I will be refining it to include the associated parts which go with it(mountings, control boxes, etc) by number shortly. Essentially everything radio wise but the wiring itself & an operator.
Partial initial listing:
SCR-287 Liaison Radio Equipment consisting of:
BC-375E Transmitter (Generally good condition, paint has usual wear. 2 meters have cracked glass. Should be operable.)
Mount FT-151 C(good order, slightly modified, but may be used as is, or restored to original)

Tuning Unit TU-9B w/CS-48

Tubes VT-4-C *NOS* (4)(The VT-4-A tubes alone for the BC-375 have been going for $200 EACH due to tube amp audiophiles grabbing them up to make tube amplifiers and there are 4 of them, NOS, included in the sale.)

If you want to outfit an original radio room completely, this will get you most of the way!
Selling price is $3,500. plus shipping. I can deliver to areas within 200 miles, if you have an A/C that will be in the area(Southern NJ, eastern PA, North MD & Del.), just let me know what airport to bring them to!
I will post a more complete list shortly, including numbers for mounts, etc.
Any questions, please PM, or e-mail me directly ng19delta<at>yahoo<dot>com
Thanks!
