I have some friends who have some interesting vintage military
electronics for sale.....

The infamous #19 set - No 19 Mk-II tank radios made in the USA for
the Russians in WW-II.

One set is complete with the power supply (I think 24 Volts) and the
second is without. Both are original and in what appears to be very clean
condition.

They also have a couple of tube-type metal detectors in the case and
appear to be pretty much complete with cables, spares, etc. They also are
very clean. One is a PRS-3 and the other is a PRS-4. There's also
another metal detector but I don't know what it is.

There's also a WW-II Jeep radio in superb condition - RT-111/TRC-20
with the PP-1067/GR power supply.

Finally, a very unique and valuable piece: a PPN-2 WW-II Ranger beacon set
complete in the jump bag and manual. It also is very clean.

The above pieces are in excellent condition cosmetically but their
electrical condition is unknown. However, the electronics seems to be
complete and original with no obvious hacks or modifications. It would be
illegal to transmit with them unless you have a ham license.

If anyone is interested in these items please contact me and I'll put you
in touch. However, I would want these to go to someone that would keep
them original and not gut them to mount a CB radio inside. I saw a nice
clean GRC-9 recently at a rally and the owner hacked it to put in a CB
set. This is not a good thing to do to an original piece of equipment and
I would hope that you folks understand this philosophy.
