    Believe me I can smell a cooler a mile off. By the way bring a chisel if you want to "carve something" on my truck. And my truck bites if you try to remove the dirt because it is allergic to chisels.

    You are welcome to my part of the country anytime and you can put your baby cooler inside a real cooler to keep it safe. I would provide you with a safe place as well where the deer and the antelope play. Tater you are welcome as well, we can measure the amount of dirt on our equipment with a yard stick.

    Apperciate that pat. Been a hot minute since I've been to the Dakotas, but I'll defer to at least June so maybe some of the snow will be gone then. Wished they wouldnt closed that bridge going in yankton, I really enjoyed the view from the top deck.

    Scored this off eBay last week, for only 60$, and finally arrived yesterday. Great addition to the one I already own.

    Stolen from the second link...




    RADIO RECEIVER EQUIPMENT MODEL AN/APR-4
    Year end 1943 USA

    Radio Receiving Equipment AN/APR4 is a search receiver designed to measure the frequency of radar or radio signal within its frequency range. It is a superheterodyne type of receiver, complete in itself, but may be used with associated equipment.


    95lbs according to that link, an uses tubes!

    Hope you decide to sell it to a collector or something, be a shame to see it scrapped.

    Sirscrapalot - Liked the links an learned something new.

    From what I can understand of it...it was usually installed shipboard to measure radar frequencies...sometimes they would use it in combo with a jammer unit to jam the signals.

    Definitely cool.

    Great find tater!

    The RT-7/APN-1 half of it is showing as a Radar Altimeter used on Bombers during WWII, so plane in this case...not ship. LOL

    Broken key, bummer. I lost so many keys all my vehicles are set up to bypass the key except my hauling truck. One less thing to break, loose, or jab in my pockets. I also disconnected the locks on my run abouts so I don't lock myself out. If a neighbor needs transportation, they can just take the truck and I will get it back when it runs out of fuel.

    I know you're not one who likes to sit with things too long, but If its in decent shape, try selling it. Iv never heard of an austin healey JEEP. Sounds rare.
    If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all...
