Vintage Military ACR Electronics RT-10 Survival Radio Receiver-Transmitter 1960

  
This is a vintage military ACR Electronics Model No. RT-10 Receiver-Transmitter, also identified as the ACR-B/2 Back Plate RT 10. This type of unit was a survival radio beacon, designed for emergency communication. The label indicates a U. It was manufactured by ACR Electronics Corp. The unit is tuned to 243 MC (MHz), a frequency historically used for military distress signals. Instructions for operation are clearly printed on the label: TO TURN UNIT ON - PULL ANTENNA OUT COMPLETELY UNTIL BASE RING IS VISIBLE. It also details how to transmit voice and tone. The speaker-mic is integrated into the unit.

Cosmetically, the radio has its original olive drab finish, showing noticeable wear, scratches, and scuffs from age and potential use. There are some painted markings on the unit, including "28" and "34, " which may be inventory or unit numbers. The original nylon webbing strap is attached. There's some visible corrosion, particularly around the attachment points and on exposed metal, consistent with its age and potentially being stored in various conditions. The antenna appears to be intact but its full functionality isn't guaranteed.

It should be assumed that it is non-operational and is for parts or repair only. This would be a fantastic addition to a collection of military aviation, survival gear, or vintage electronics. Please examine all provided photographs to understand the exact cosmetic condition.
