R.F. HEAD – TYPE 3 – SERIAL 18

Rare Experimental WWII Microwave Radar Assembly

Exceptional early microwave/radar RF head assembly manufactured by Sylvania Electric Products with advanced Raytheon microwave components and precision geared tuning mechanisms. Features original vacuum tubes, waveguide-style resonant structures, AFC/video connections, and highly complex laboratory-grade construction.

Believed to be associated with experimental or low-production WWII airborne or naval radar development. The very low serial number (#18) and specialized microwave architecture suggest prototype or developmental radar equipment rather than standard postwar electronics.

Notable features include:

• Original vacuum tubes and sockets

• Precision reduction gear tuning assembly

• Hansen geared motor drive

• AFC and video output connections

• Heavy military/laboratory shielding and braided cabling

• Intact original plates and connectors

An outstanding display and research piece for advanced collectors of:

• WWII radar technology

• Signal Corps and microwave electronics

• Early airborne radar systems

• Raytheon/Sylvania developmental equipment

• Museum-grade communications collections

Condition: Untested, sold as display/research piece. Remarkably complete and untouched internally.
