Looking for/WTB CH-60 radio cabinet
« on: February 11, 2016, 06:37:46 AM »
Posted this on the G503 site...figured I'd post it here in case it gets lost in traffic:

I'm looking for the radio cabinet to install an SCR-193 in my halftrack.  While the SCR-193 can be mounted in many different combinations depending on the vehicle, for an M3A1 halftrack the manual calls for a CH-60.

As described in the manual:  The cabinet CH-60 is 53 5/8 inches long, 29 13/16 inches high, and 11 5/8 inches deep and is divided by one vertical partition and one horizontal shelf, the latter in the right portion of the cabinet, so as to form three compartments.  The cabinet CH-60 has two doors similarly constructed, one covering the left compartment and the other the right compartments.  The doors are hinged above their center lines so that the top portion swings outward and downward to lay against the lower portion.  In this position, the doors are removable from the cabinet frame by a vertical movement of the door assembly.  This vertical movement disengages offset brackets welded to the bottom of the door assemblies, which engage a portion of the cabinet CH-60 frame when the doors are in place.

Below are the best pictures I could find of a CH-60.  Any leads would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks guys...

-Tom

I was told the links to the pictures aren't working.  I can see them, but they again they're my pictures from my account…let me know if they still aren't working and I'll figure out a different method of posting.
