Default RF Can mystery solved.

Back in 2001, I posted this:

I have an RF "can" from a military radio which I would like to identify
so I can use it for trading.


Several people have suggested Navy RB* radios. This thing has a grid cap
and the Navy Radios have single ended tubes. The Bendix MN-26 was also
suggested-- still looking for pictures/docs on that to check. Stamped
in the aluminum is a small square with SC in it (in the C22 adjust hole).
I think that means "Signal Corps."

Thanks for looking. I am still curious.

Take a look at:

and

Tell me if you recognize it. This is not a "for sale" item.
Some information:
4 adjustable caps. The cover plate slides to give access
4 adjustable coils, opposited side from caps
Grid cap on top.
Hole for pass through selector shaft.
5 ceramic pass through solder terminals on the back.


Today, I noticed this item on Ebay: Item number: 160037504145

If you look at the images in my links and the top photo here, you will
see that what I have is the RF stage for the WWII Bendix RA-10
direction finder.

Steve.

Looks identical to ARB my cans, too. Maybe they were interchangeable?
