WWII U.S. Army Signal Corps T-51/ARQ-8 Radio Transmitter — 1944

WWII U.S. Army Signal Corps T-51/ARQ-8 Radio Transmitter — 1944

Original WWII U.S. Army Signal Corps Radio Transmitter T-51/ARQ-8, manufactured by The Hallicrafters Co. Data plate shows Order No. 688-DAY-44, making this a 1944 military aircraft radio/radar countermeasure transmitter. Front panel has oscillator tuning, mixer plate, final plate, final grid, meter selector, output indicator, antenna connection, power and control plugs, and fuse holders.

This is a very nice WWII airborne electronics piece, especially for collectors of Hallicrafters, Signal Corps aviation radio gear, radar countermeasure equipment, and WWII aircraft electronics. Black wrinkle finish presents well with normal age, scratches, dust, and oxidation. Untested and sold as a collectible/restoration unit.
