WWII ECM, radar & IFF electronics from my collection FS

Thu Oct 06, 2016 1:52 pm

Getting too old to enjoy this stuff that fills my basement. Wife is encouraging me to convert it into $$$. Here is a PARTIAL list:

AN/ALR-5 ECM set (R-444/APR-4Y + CV-253/ALR tuning unit + IP-69A/ALA-2 panadaptor). Korean war vintage. Used on EC-121 that was shot down by N Korea during war there. Probably also used in the Navy Privateer PB4Y.

APA-1 NOS (CRT indicator & amplifier)

APA-10 panadaptor/signal analyzer

APA-11 same with inboard audio oscillator for measuring PRF

APA-23 radar recorder NOS still with original factory electrosensitive paper in the platen on front. NOS/NIB

APA-38 panadaptor/PRF analyzer with manual (listed on eBay at the moment)

RT-45/ARQ-1 commo jammer

R-61/ARQ-5 panoramic receiver, analyzer

R-58A/T-51A/ARQ-8 commo jammer set (separate transmitter & receiver) (used against German glide bomb RC links) NOS

PP-35/ART + T-35/ART-7 VHF-AM hi-power commo jammer & power supply

R-34/APR-2 recording ECM receiver (rare)

R-375/APR-4X ECM receiver with all TN- tuning unit plug-ins

R-54/APR-4 (takes same TN- plug ins)

CU-63/APT balun (for driving right & left jamming antennas from unbalanced jamming xmtr output) (rare)

C-56/APT-1 jammer control box (rare)

C-60/AP jammer control box (rare)

R-111A/APR-5A microwave ECM receiver (rare)

BC-1152 P-61 pilot's radar indicator NOS

RT-21/APN-7 airborne transponder with TM & KY-3/APN-7 coder control box. NOS/NIB, with original antenna.

AN/APS-2, -3, -4 radar indicators. One of the APS-4 units (I have 2) is NOS.

RT-34/APS-13 'Tail End Charlie' tail warning radar transceiver NOS. As used in the altitude fusing system in the first A-bombs. If no interest here I understand that there are Japanese collectors who really crave this stuff. Go figure. This comes with a scan of the British AN/APS-13 MONICA manual.

In addition I have 7 or more plane & circularly polarized ECM antennas. Pix on request.

This is just the jamming/radar stuff. The Rebecca Mk II receiver/indicator, C-3/APN-2 control box & AT-2A/APN-2 Yagi antenna look like it has been sold to a group restoring a C-47.

On the IFF side, I have several ABA/SCR-515 (BC-645/PE-101) sets including NOS connector sets & 2 sets of coding cams that fit inside the dynamotor to interrupt the B+ for ID. I also have an SCR-695 transponder (as used on the Enola Gay), a Navy ABK-5 xpdr with control boxes & a complete (restored missing tubes) NOS APX-2 xpdr/interrogator-responser with all control boxes (C-54, -55, -56, -57) but no mount or antenna, plus the huge APX-2A red leatherette-bound classified system manual. Except for the NRL-designed ABA/SCR-515, the rest are Mk II systems designed by Hazeltine. Have SA-3/A impact/inertia switches NOS, antennas & control boxes. Perfect for restoration work on post-WWII aircraft. Also designed by them is the RT-82/APX-6 (circa 1950) & the later RT-279A/APX derivative which is part of the AN/APX-25 SIF/IFF system along with coder KY-95A/APX-25 (all NOS). Also C-1040/APX-7 interrogator/responser control box in good shape (rare).

All of my collection is in great shape & is available for sale but I think both myself & the buyer would prefer to arrange for local pickup in Bucks Co, PA where they can check it out & I can provide a guided tour of my 'museum.'. All prices are negotiable. There is a lot more. I have my inventory in an Excel spreadsheet that I can send as an email attachment that has a lot more detail. Pix are available of individual items on request.

The APS-2 indicator has been sold as has the PP-35/ART + T-34/ART-7 set. The REBECCA Mk II has been spoken for.

Since so much has been sold in the last day or so, I'm posting this update.
