These are the radios we have in our collection. We take them to Military Displays and Veterans Events.

 

The radio on the left is our GRC-9. It is connected to a GN-58 hand-crank generator setup. This radio was used in the Korean War.

 

 

 

 

Here is the Gn-58 generator. Also our official U.S. Army Signal Corps Mascot, Corporal Chewy. He goes to shows with us.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is our BC-654 or SCR-284. It is complete and we hope to test it later this year. We are trying to get all of our equipment working. This is from 1944.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

AN/GRR-5. Better know as the ANGRY-FIVE. It is Korean War Vintage and is a Receiver only.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BC-1000 Walkie Talkie. This was the first Man-pack radio. It was made by Philco in 1944. We got it from Italy where it had been left after the end of WWII. It was well used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A BC-611. This was considered the first Walkie Talkie but was actually a Handy Talkie. We have 2 of these. One was used as a movie prop from Republic Films then MGM. It was in many WWII movies made between 1941 and 1945.
