Orange Drops are "authentic" because they came into existance in the late 50's and were regularly used to repair all kinds of electronics. Little yellow film caps are authentic because they have been around since the mid 60's but not used much in consumer grade electronics because paper caps were cheaper. Ceramics have been around since WW2, disks just post war. One may conclude that the original capacitors represent inferior grade components and therefore a better grade of replacment capacitor enhances the value of equipment. What remains then is competently selected and installed replacement parts. On my list of priorities technical soundness is more important than aesthetics under the chassis. So, what I'd like to know is how good are the Jupiters electrically? If truly paper and wax I'd put them in the audiophoole goodies category - junk, IOW. Stuffing proper film types into the old cap's paper tube is the proper combination, IMO - technically correct and aesthetically appropriate for the preserver.

This was a mobile "talk back" capability that was provided for the Texas Highway Patrol. Of course, base-to-mobile communications was on the familiar "police bands" labeled on entertainment radios of that era, and was provided by state-of-the-practice broadcast stations operating in the same band. (The BC band Texas DPS tower still stands in Austin, TX.) Certainly everyone has either heard (or seen movies) of the classic, "Calling all cars...." prefix to a broadcast transmission. Every major town that was a dispatch point had their own frequency assignment. This dispatch service is well known, but the mobile service seems a bit obscure. Some police departments used call boxes for talk back, while others (e.g., San Antonio) used 10m AM mobile transmitters that talked to numerous fixed receivers spread over the cities and routed to the dispatcher via leased telephone lines. One can see these radios advertised in the back of late 40's QSTs, sold with a 10m converter as a package. I am interested in hearing about the tube line-up, power output, etc. for the early 160m mobiles. I seem to remember they used helically would cane poles for antennas, but that's not verified. Obviously in Texas the radios needed longer legs, but were constrained because they most likely used vibrator power supplies from 6V ignition systems. I am particularly interested in establishing a local 160m intercom function for some local hams in Austin, Texas, and thought this was an interesting starting point. It seems Motorola was not in the 160m mobile business, because they came on the scene with hi-band FM hardware for motorcycles. Who was, and what kind of hardware, were they providing??? 73, Nick Broline W5FUA 512 327 7425 We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.

If the person who has one doesn't want to deal with Customs forms & etc., I'll take care of that. To maybe refresh someone's memory, AN/MRC-35 was one of those ad hoc sets built up around older equipment. In this case, it consisted of AN/ART-13 and BC-348 (collectively AN/ARC-8), AN/ARC-27, this control box, a keyer, a cabinet for the radios, and an M38A1. The person looking describes as being used by USMC, although I know there is a photo of it in the 1959 edition of TM 11-487A. C-2198 is a rectangular box. There is a flange around the front panel, to mount it into the dash of the Jeep, to the right of the vehicle instruments. In the center of the panel is a blast proof loudspeaker. Controls and indicators are arranged around the speaker. The audio connector is the typical Korean War vintage one, for things like Handset H-33(*)/PT. I have a B&W photo I can send if anyone thinks they might have the remains of one.
