Ww2 radar 162-c and RF unit

[sampen]

I've read the above from the plates on the items. This box was a barn find and not opened I presume since the war or thereabouts. The box is full with items all in their specific places I presume? There are replacement lenses abd bulbs and the ends of the wires are wrapped in paper.
It's obviously from plates a type of radar? Help would be appreciated.

Judging by the pics it looks a little bit like the display of the H2S ground scanning radar. But I can see differences. IMHO it is a displayer of the Gee airborne radio navigation system with the RF Unit 25 Ref no.10D/1016 seen at the data plate that was the radio-frequency tuning unit for the Gee system. The RF units 25 was used with the Gee Mk.II system.

Here the RF-25 unit ... with the receiver R-1355. The LU. 51 unit mentioned in the data plate was a simple tuning unit attached between the R-1355 receiver and and a simple whip aerial mounted on an aircraft

The 10QB/ and 10D/ numbers mean this is RAF equipment.

Websearch blunham and you will find a site run by Colin Hinson (I think) that almost certainly has manuals for those units.

He is difficult to contact but always answers. If I was home I could give you links but that is at least 10 days away.

Thankyou, mine has the large round screen showing on the interface running into a cylindrical tapered tube. Regards Sam

I see. Could you upload the image of the full front panel of the CRT indicator? As memo serves the displayers could be different although used with the same mark of the Gee system.

Sir I am more than happy to tomorrow but it's almost midnight and it's away in the garage. I hope this is acceptable. Sam

Of course. No problem. Just didn't noticed that it is that late. But no wonder the time flies when you are chatting with nice guys.

OK. I have digged a little bit more. Here is the H2S Radar Indicator Type 162B I found via the net. Also I found a pic of type 162 that looks the same like the type 162B. The layout of the holes for these sockets, knops and switches looks the same like of your one. However the H2S radar displayer had two tubes while your one has the one only. Instead of the second one there is a kind of ammeter or voltmeter. Also there is something what looks like a switch on the left of it instead of the mid socket. The top and the bottom ones are lacked there. All that lets me believe that the device could be turned into a different device for some reason. I guess it's possible a radio amateur could have changed it into a device that was going to work with the RF unit of the Gee system. Or it is just a random jumble of a couple devices collected by the box owner. The another possibility it can be a device used by the ground maintenace crew for checking or calibrating of the airborne navigation devices.
