I have some WW2 manuals for military electronics equipment available
free if you pick them up at my house or for a small fee if you want them
by mail.  Priority goes to people who have the actual equipment described
by these manuals.

AN/ARN-8         Marker Beacon Receiver
RAK-7            Radio Receiver
AM-40/AIC        Interphone Amplifier
AN/ARC-1         Aircraft Radio Equipment
AN/ARC-2         Aircraft Radio Equipment
ZB-3             Aircraft Radio Homing Adapter Equipment
LM-15            Crystal Calibrated Frequency Indicating Equipment
AN/APN-4         Radio Set

I intend to keep the following manuals, but would consider parting with
them to a sufficiently interested party.

TS-45/AP         Radar Test Set
TS-146/UP        Radar Test Set
TS-147/UP        Radar Test Set
TS-148/UP        Radar Spectrum Analyzer

I'd be interested in what installations had the AN/APS-4, AN/APS-6A, and
AN/APS-15 radars.  These are some of the radars mentioned in these manuals.
I know AN/APS-15 was used in B-17 bombers, because there's pictures of
TS-148/UP being used both inside and outside the bomber.  I'd like to know
what theaters and during what time span these radars were used.

I'd also like to know if there were microwave spectrum analyzers which
are older than the TS-148/UP, either military or civilian.
