Antenna mount ..

Post by vwsf » Mon Oct 17, 2016 7:44 pm

Looking to locate this type of antenna bracket.
My understanding it's from a 1949 US Marine Corps radio set
MX 566A /MRC..
Any help please
Thank you

Does anyone have the Parts List for the MX-566A/MRC Installation Kit? What is the part number for the Antenna Bracket being discussed here?

Thanks!
