Thanks to those that have helped... from as far away as NZ and AUS!

Continuing the restoration of this actual Iwo Jima combat aircraft. Still looking for WWII USN ABK-2 (SCR 595) transponder unit for L-5 (OY-1). Pilot interview and photos from squadron show it installed. They (ships) were concerned in the A.O. with the Kamikazi threat, so they got installed in these particular grasshoppers, this had not been noted before. Still looking for control head mount (same as USAAF vs BC) and antenna

This operated with the 22" 66 AAV (approx) pole antenna. Please feel free to PM me if you have any ideas. I'm finishing it to take the guy who flew it in combat up this next summer!
Thanks so much-
Duncan
