Chest CH-217 , VRC-1 info pls

Post by N6FEG » Sat Apr 03, 2021 11:16 am

Looking to fabricate the CH-217 chest for the VRC-1.
TM 11-2715 shows the chest but no dimensions given or any construction details.
Was hoping someone might have some info on the chest or know of someone who has one I could get some dimensions of the chest from.
Thanks
Paul

Hello.

I am still in doubt.
Definitely a printing error.
Let me explain.
The TM 11-2715 indicates a stock number 6F915
According to the Signal Supply catalog SIG 5 VOL.3, stock list of all items, stock number 6F915 corresponds to chest CH-215.

If someone has another explanation?
Best regards.

Thierry.

Hi Thierry
Thanks for the reply. My TM does not give a stock number. I can somewhat guesstimate the dimensions of the chest and the frame its built on. Almost like a CH 60 for the SCR 193 but a bit wider and much deeper to a accommodate the SCR 522 set up.
I remember seeing a pic of a VRC-1 owned by a collector in Italy. Will try and track him down and seee if he is willing to to give me a little help with this.
Tnx
Paul
