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.

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.

I'm from the LSVW and ILTIS era although a few of my buddies back in B.C. have Canadian
M37's in their collections. They especially appreciate the fender mounted heaters in the winter. By-the-way I am the holder of the unofficial Canadian Land Speed Record for the LSVW on flat land. During OP MARCOT in Stephenville, NFLD we Engineers were tasked with setting up the MAGs (Mobile Arrestor Gear) on runway 09/27. Runway 09/27 is 10,000' long and was built when Harmon AFB was a SAC base with B 52s. I bet my Sergeant his two beer ration that day that given enough distance I could hit 100 kph with an LSVW. He accepted the bet and lost. No beer ever tasted sweeter!
