Air Force Radar ECHO BOX TS-488/U, Looks Excellent, Kelly AFB San Antonio, Texas

This is an Echo Box TS-488/U. Decal on lid indicates it was from Kelly AFB in San Antonio, Texas (not far from me). Under the lid this thing looks excellent. Everything turns that is supposed to. Has 5 spare crystals in the compartment. I photographed one to show number. Appears to have all accessories inside the lid including a plastic info card. Under that there are two Allen wrenches and another card. I didn’t want to try to remove anything for fear of damage. I understand it has something to do with radar and is from the 1950’s. Made by Fairchild Camera co. Interesting piece of history! WILL DEFINITELY CONSIDER ALL OFFERS. I just want to find it another home. Will be listing some other items from this find soon, so check back. Examine the pictures carefully as they are part of the description. All questions answered quickly. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WORKS OR HOW TO WORK IT. NO INTERNATIONAL SALES PLEASE. Thanks and God bless!

Vtg Rare 1960’s Yonezawa Japan Tin Usaf Jet Plane Base & Radar Tower Super Saber

Posted on December 18, 2019 by admin Posted in rare

Vtg Rare 1960's Yonezawa Japan Tin Usaf Jet Plane Base & Radar Tower Super Saber

Overall fair condition, has rusting to both battery compartments, one compartment won’t open. Base itself isn’t bad, but it isn’t good either. Some rusting near bottom on the back. Still displays nicely and has all the parts, includes the wind up handle. Wind up part barely works. Think the problem is with the plane. That part the plane goes onto turns easily but then kind of sticks when you insert it into the plane. To get the plane going you need to pull it back and hold it while you crank the handle. The launch button still works but the plane goes about 6 before stopping, maybe less, will not go far enough to make you smile. Plane has something rattling around in it, not sure if that has something to do with it. Overall you might be able to restore it with some time and skills. Either way it still displays fairly well. Box isn’t too bad, some staining inside and one flap needs staples reattached. Both staples are there and you can probably fix it with a little time. Another thing, I do have the cardboard piece that goes over the bottom to cover the batteries. It’s in decent shape, light staining, snaps to bottom very easily. Also wanted to mention the radar tower spins around when you turn the handle. Overall this still looks really cool and has a bunch of useful parts if you’re looking for those.
