US ARMY BC-659-k SIGNAL CORPS MILITARY RADIO TRANSMITTER RECEIVER WITH CS-79-N

  

For your consideration is a very nice original condition functional BC-659 with Battery case. Components and wiring are very clean and intact. The leather handles on both units have been replaced with NOS handles from long storage. A great addition to your Jeep or other Military vehicle. Unit can also be field used along with your M101 Howitzer for that impending war with your neighbors.

I pulled this radio from a local town to me that had them in long storage. The radio and battery box look to have been unused. Radio has a Topical fungicide label dating to 1945. I have other setups for my vehicles and I`m sure someone out there is looking for one.

My PE-97 & Battery substitute are not for sale. A lot of good folks out there have supplied plenty of info online regarding powering up these units. TM manuals are available for free download online.

A video has been uploaded of the radio in operation. Comes with the two Crystals as seen in the pics.

These are correct #243 crystals for the radio that also fall within the specified channel range. Handsets, antennas, etc are available elsewhere.
