    Radios are milsurps too!

    I don't know if any of you also collect military surplus radios as I do but as they are "military surplus" so I hope the Mods don't mind if I post some pictures of the various radios in my collection. For my first post here are some pics of a complete ANVRC-53, AN-524A, and an R-446 which I installed in a M37B1. The radios all work(ed)...I say worked as the AN-524A and R-446 were sold to other collectors so I currently only have the ANVRC-53.

    Nicely done! By the way, I've got photos of a pair of military binoculars in the Photo Gallery so your radios are welcome as well.

    M37, my section attack vehicle when I first started. We only had the hard tops but they would come off completely if you wanted to.
    Regards, Jim

    I saw a radio at a yard sale Memorial Day weekend but they wanted several hundred dollars and that's too much for me. Which reminds me of another item I saw the same day in the same group of yard sales. a gynecological medical kit canvas wrap. None of the tools were in it but they were all outlined in black for each of the compartments. This thing was HUGE, probably 6 feet in length, WWII dated. Figured it would go great in my Yard Sale thread but he wanted $85 for it. I do have my limitations.
