Description
You are bidding on a VERY NICE example of a WW2 United States Army Air Force BC-434-A Radio Compass Control Box! This was used in conjunction with the SCR-269 Radio Compass, installed on the B-17, B-24, B-25, B-26, B-29, C-47, and C-54!
The SCR 269 system was a radio homing system installed in US Army Air Corps/Force and US Navy aircraft such as the heavy bomber B-24 Liberator, B-17 Flying Fortress, B-29 Superfortress, medium bombers such as B-25 and B-26, and transport aircraft. The SCR 269 typically consisted of the following components:
One BC-433C receiver
Two BC-434-A Remote Control Boxes
Three MC124 Flexible Shafts
One MC-203 Flexible Shaft T connector.
I-81-A Pilots Indicator
I-82-A Navigators Indicator
BK-22-A Relay Terminal Panel
LP-21-A Rotatable Loop Antenna
CD-365 Antenna Cord
Made of brass, aluminum, and steel with a black crackle-paint finish, this BC-434A Radio Control Box is in is in AMAZING unused condition! Dated March 1945, it is 100% COMPLETE, apart from the rear cover. Still retains 99% of its original paint and finish, with NO damage or corrosion! 100% mechanically functional, however, I have not rested it electrically, so I am selling as-is. Some slight marks and wear, due to the age, but nothing that detracts. I have shown its location in the last images. Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
