Title: Info on a Globe King 400B military version Post by: WC4D on September 26, 2023, 05:36:44 PM I have what I believe to be a military GK 400 but I can't find any info about it or a picture just a manual and it's not even close to what I have. If I could post a picture I would but it won't let me .. HELP

I seriously doubt you have a military GK 400. I have never heard of one and WRL never approached military standards in their normal design/construction that would come close to what the military expected. But stranger things have happened. What leads you to think it is military?

They used all sorts of gear around the globe (pun intended).
