Another weekend tinkering with the SCR-187 stuff. As usual the harder you look the more bits you find wrong, or missing;
Apart from the Russell Electric Co or Webster-Chicago BD-24 Dynamotor ( for the BC-224 Receiver ) and the BC-309 Radio Control box, which are the only substantial parts still missing, I have identified three bits still to find for the BC-191-F Transmitter too, one mounting and two cover plates.
Cover plates first. I don't yet have the small detachable panel for the right hand side of the top plate, or the insulator panel for the main output terminal cover plate that goes on the right hand side panel next to it. Both would be about 8" long, with the top plate panel 4 or 5 inches wide and the output terminal panel 3" wide.

In addition to those two outer panels, I have now discovered that the main mounting plate for the output sockets is missing. I now have the output plugs and sockets, thanks to contributors on here, but I need this socket mounting plate - anyone have a spare?

The plan at the minute is to get the BC-224-F Receiver off for restoration as soon as I can find the remaining missing part, the BD-24 Dynamotor. Getting anything done with the BC-191-F is further down the line as I'm not sure what internal components are still missing - I'll tackle that when the Receiver is done and I have all the obvious bits of the Transmitter. Anyone have a BC-191 carcass they are never going to use?
