I have looked around some Mil equipment lists trying to find out what it is and what this might be good for. I have been offered two of them, both not complete. It has a video jack as well as rf in. It is housed in a brute force military enclosure with a screw on cover. The boxes are about 20 inch by 20 inch, maybe the same depth. Anybody have any idea what these are? The old professors bought a lot of mil surplus for their labs. This Doctor died a few years ago so I guess his supply is gradually being sorted thru and tossed.
Thanks,
Bob

I corrected the model number. Nice boxes for shipping.

We sure build beautiful equipment in this country when we want to.
That look to be very application-specific, so may best be reduced to components and used again.

This one really got my curiosity up. Looked through every old [1965 and earlier] reference I have on old military equipment. There is nothing in the Army or Navy references. Air Force references after 1950 are short here, so not much help there. I'm beginning to wonder if it was a DOD item or not.
It is interesting that it apparently belonged to a 'laboratory' from the front panel stamp. Either that, or some lab had done work on it. Also, the fact that the transmitter and receiver have 'arm' switches is rather different. Almost makes you wonder if it was for an R&D or prototype item for some high energy device.

Since 1958. There still is nothing like tubes to keep your coffee warm in the shack.

2C39 in a cavity? Maybe you got a 900 or 1296 MHz -able unit there. Any transmitter that has to be "armed" is OK by me.
I do not find it in my Jane's here.

Hmmm, "clearly" stamped Atomic (?) Physics Laboratory in yellow.
And yet it has a 2C39 beast and tumble cavity decent to. Low freq. crystal Osc.
Curiouser nd curiouser.

Maybe a R-390 will bolt into the rails.
I can check back there tomorrow if there are any requests to look into. Maybe I'll grab one and take it back to my shop at work where I can investigate more. I would hate to trash anything that is significant.

Atomic and Plasma Labatory. Could be from over near White Sands or Los Alamos.

I was thinking Oak Ridge.
The AM Forum > THE AM BULLETIN BOARD > QSO > Topic: Can anyone identify this mystery rig?
Might fit in there.

It has a ML-2C39-AM in the cavity. The lid has breathers on either side with tubing fittings inside directing to brackets that look to have held bottles or cylinders of some sort. Also has a 1kc frequency standard in it. The work on this thing is amazing from the harnessing to the hardware. Even has the hard to find original tuning tool..... ARO and MAB lettering with the Atomic and Plasms Physics Laboratory labeling. A tag on the back says it went thru Letterkenney Depot. |
