Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a lovely, field used condition WWII example of the BC-1000 Walkie Talkie radio set. All pieces are original USGI issue WWII vintage. The case latches are all original WWII style, not post war spring loaded latches. There is no antenna on this example, nor are there any headsets. The data plate reads:
SIGNAL CORPS
RADIO RECEIVER AND
TRANSMITTER BC-1000-A
??? CPR 29316-PHILA-44-01
The tubes are intact and present. Knobs and jack covers present. Markings are in English meaning this is not a post war French version. The canvas is in good condition with just small signs of wear. There is no headset included with this example, but they are easy enough to find.
These radios are the quintessential WWII radio communications gear. As seen on all battlefields - and used by the Army and the Marine Corps - the "walkie talkie" is everywhere a ground pounder had to go. The SCR-300/BC-1000 was a portable radio transceiver used by US Signal Corps in World War II. This backpack-mounted unit was the first radio to be nicknamed a "walkie talkie". These sets are getting harder and harder to find in any condition, and this would be a great restoration project for someone with the parts. Comes ready for further research and display.
