MRC 35A Radio Pictures Found

[53a1]

I saw that there was a guy selling the very rare dash control unit on Ebay and I saved the pictures.

I emailed him and and asked if he took pictures before taking the parts out of the Jeep but he didn't. I also asked him if he had more parts but he didn't. I would have bid on them but I don't see the point if you don't have the rest of the setup. Also the parts look as if they are rusted out pretty bad. I guess having this stuff is just not practical for a guy with my budget.

He said the large switch went behind the passager seat in the front part of the bed.

Didn't get much more info from him other than that.

Hello guys. I bought all of these parts. Have already restored the rare control unit. Desperatly looking for a TM manual for the AN/MRC-35 set so I know how to put it all back togther. Not mentioned above, the same seller (or his friend) had some brackets which mount on the sides to hold the heavy side radio boxes and a waterproof aluminium box which is placed between the rear inner fenders. We have no idea what the box is for, but guess it might have housed extra batteries. Info appreciated.

I have search high and low on internet, but only found 2 original MRC-35 radio set jeeps. Would appreciate tips on more out there.
