AMAZING FIND!!! POST WW2 Radio Receivers!!!! WITH RADIO!!

[olekyground]

Ok friends. I just purchased this awesome receiver radio and receivers from someone. I didnt know what I had until I noticed the stamped may 45 on it and the US navy on it as well. I did some research and found them. The only pics I could find were pics of them displayed in a museum! Please give me any info you can on these. I still have a lot to learn from them. Don't know much else as of now. thank you for any comments!!!

Sorry, I was Naval Air Electronics, but those are before even my time. (1955-1959) Probably WW11.
I worked on the ARC27 and the APN22. And even those were still tube type. Electronics has advanced tremendously since these babies.

Those are pretty cool finds. You might want to contact a group like the Commemorative Airforce and ask them about the radios. They restore and fly old warbirds, and I'm sure someone there will be able to tell you what you have.

For boatanchors (the technical term for most old electronics. Really.) your friend would be Google.

Yeah.. I am going to check out some sites and see if I can find anything out. I figured they have to be worth some decent money being they are WW2 and come from the plane! I could be wrong but either way, I love them. If I have to keep em I will without a second thought. thanks friends for your help!
