You are bidding on one military chest set, NATO number 5965-66-017-8119. There are two; if you make the winning bid, tell me how many you want so I can generate the correct invoice for you.

The chest set is a black Bakelite housing that has:

• ·         a quick-removal, adjustable-length webbing neck strap
• ·         a permanently tethered 500 mm cloth-covered flexible cord connecting to a handset
• ·         a U-92 socket to accept a headset via a U-93A/U or U-174/U plug
• ·         approximately 1.5 m of cotton-covered flexible cord terminated in a U-77/U connector.

The handset is black Bakelite. It holds a carbon microphone element and has a push-to-talk button for transmitting. The handset also has a 2-way bayonet socket, possibly for a reading lamp. The microphone has a rubber mouthpart designed to fit closely to your face, so as to exclude outside sounds.

How you can use this item

As this chest set uses the 10-way U-77 connector, you can use it with:

• ·         the GRA-6 control sets
• ·         the SB-22 switchboard
• ·         most of the PRC series of transceivers, such as PRC-8, PRC-9, PRC-10, PRC-47
•       the GRC-106
• ·         the TRC-75.

Why am I selling this?

I originally acquired these chest sets to use with my PRC-47 transceivers. Now that I no longer have PRC-47 transceivers, I don’t need these chest sets.

Packaging

I make no charge for packaging. Your item will be properly wrapped and packed to withstand the usual rigors of postal and courier delivery systems.

Shipping - please read

You must ask me to quote the shipping charge. Why?

• There are often differences between what eBay calculates, what the Australia Post and other carriers' online calculators show, and what they actually charge. Generally, Australia Post uses the quickest delivery method, such as one of the more expensive Air Mail modes.
• eBay calculates postage based on the rates charged by Australia Post, in turn based on the weight I have given, but not always the dimensions. Sendle uses the same weight and dimensional information to come up with its shipping estimate. If you win several items, I will bundle them (up to 20 kg) to get you the most economical shipping charge.
• Though Australia Post offers insurance (up to AU$100) and tracking as part of the carriage charge, some carriers do not. So, you must ask me to quote you for such additional delivery services as insurance, tracking, or signature on receipt. If your final winning bid plus shipping exceeds AU$100, I will add insurance (probably about AU$8). If you are overseas, I will add tracking.
• I have added a small handling charge to cover the costs of my taking your packed item to my nearest Australia Post or Sendle office. If you want me to take the item to a different carrier of your choice, we will negotiate the cost involved. My handling charge is for one package, no matter how many items it contains. You can avoid my handling charge and the shipping cost by collecting the item directly from me.

Payment

If you are in Australia, I will accept direct bank transfer, eBay, Money Order, or PayPal, but not posted cash. It is often cheaper to pay by bank transfer than by eBay, Money Order or PayPal; however, I will accept cash if you collect the item from me.

If you are outside Australia, I will only accept bank transfer, Money Order or PayPal. All payments must be in AU$, unless we agree otherwise before your payment.
