Communications to light aircraft & helo. May be suitable for a 1:1 diorama Aged & some broken bits to outer sheath.

david1212 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 The connector is a BNC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNC_connector From here developed in 1945 and patented in 1951. Both the drum & cable could of course be older with the connector changed at a later date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
