RT524/246, R442, PRC 25/77 spare and GRA39

Hi Guys

As part of my big cleanup and digging for bits for mrdibbles (Hi Matt) I have found a ton of spares for the above radios in my storeroom.

If anyone needs anything to complete or dress up their radios let me know.

Have NOS front panels, quite a few of the odd little knobs, special screws, windows, connectors and covers etc.

I also have a limited number of used top and bottom covers for the VRC12 radios. Have some of the modules that are generally removed when the units are demilled (hard to find NOS) and also some of the more general modules.

Not looking for much for the parts but will swap for 151 parts, Vietnam era stuff or if its just a few screws you need I will do it for straight postage if I do not get swamped.

In addition to the parts I have the following stuff extra:

I have quite a few Antenna elements but I would prefer local pickup as shipping is a pain.

GRA39's, both complete and for parts.

We also found a number of PRC10s (used in Korea and early Vietnam) that I powered up last night and they are complete and working but have no accessories.

Please contact me at m151tx@yahoo.com to let me know what you are looking for.

Mark

Those are usually called Sponson reinforcing plates Dan, to which you would attach the MT-1898 mount for your R-442. Not sure what you mean by " power box to mount of fender and attach power cord to radio" . The VRC-12 series radios when mounted on M151's just had a power cable that went from the battery to the RT-524's mount, and a jumper cable that went between the RT-524 and the R-442. They didn't use the big suppressor box like the tracked vehicles did. For the M151 if power suppression was desired there was a small suppression unit that plugged into the R-442's mount (on the end of the line). All the items you asked about turn up on E-pay quite often, and maybe some of the guys here have some as well...
