MP57 antenna mast base

Post by wc56daveyboy » Sat Aug 20, 2022 5:40 am

So I recently purchased this antenna mount.

It’s NOS, still
In its original box!

What’s the application? Meaning which radios?

I’m keeping for now, but what’s it worth?

There is no order number or manufacturer and a Federal Stock Number not in general use until 1957 so it is depot reconditioned not NOS.

Just looking through the posts and saw this. The MP-57 is not as rare as the larger MP-37, but still very hard to find. I would guess in the $500 range. It was a general use antenna.

I'd say closer to $250-275. Not nearly as desireable as a MP-48 and no comparison to the early MP-37 which is worth close to $1000. MP-48 usually sell around $325.

Hello.

The Mast Plate MP-57 is used with the SCR-506 radio.

Best regards.
