LR Lightweight FFR radio table/cage

URS -  odd ones do at times come to market ,  off LWT  they are a numb thing to store taking up valuble covered space - so normally in rough condition - the battery box is aluminium so it hardly suffers, steel - probably the Expanmet of the roof cage suffers worst - no big deal same with a bit of  marine-ply.  However - a word of warning , what use is a URS if it comes without the correct & proper over-centre clamps (4) to secure to tub floor - possibly / probably  more difficult to obtain than the RadOp seat (check availability and £ cost) .  The correct RadOp sliding seats are arguably the most difficult LWT parts of all to source.  Antenna sliders & clamps are often missing - but expect  +   £100 to £200.

Thanks Ruxy, had a call yesterday from a forum member, so may have one coming North in next few months.


(Eddie If your reading this thanks again and really appreciated the call yesterday, here’s the pics I took when I was in the gulf, regarding our conversation when I went over to the Cherry B)

Cherry B was our escort ...... that’s the Esso Pacific.

The Charybdis Dose look small set against that Tanked, Good ships Its a shame that we have let the Navy get so small!

Soon it will be a rowing boat (with one spear oars) and a deactivated SLR on the bow just to keep the tree huggers happy.
