I can identify some R390A's, a Model 28 TTY, a few HP signal generators, but
that's about it.


Can anybody identify some of the other stuff in the racks?


Pic 6: the top left and bottom right gear is a pair of R-1051
receivers, exact model uncertain.


Pic 7: bottom gear is another pair of R-1051 receivers.


Pic 15: 6 of the eight items in the middle two rows are R-1051s.


Pic 19: three of the items in the left-hand rack appear to be some
flavor of crypto gear.


More info on Pic 19 (http://users.erols.com/eengineer/096f_17.jpg):
the three identical items stacked together on the left
side appear to be KG-14 cryptodevices, from the picture of a KG-14 at
http://webhome.idirect.com/~jproc/crypto/kg14.html.

The arrangement of the thumbscrews that hold the box in its case
is pretty distinctive, and the fuseholders just below that box
sticking out of the front panel do, I think, pretty much cinch the
identification.
