Bendix Radio – Cape Bruny

Was taking another visit down to the Cape Bruny (Tasmania) lighthouse a couple of weeks back. While there I took some time to capture the Bendix radio setup in the museum there. It’s a transmitter and receiver combo made up of:

• Receiver: Bendix RA-10FA
• Transmitter: Bendix TA-12D

These were WWII era and there are some snippets of info online (especially regarding the TA-12 series of transmitters). Also, they seem to pop up for sale on eBay and the like from time to time.

Enjoy the pics!
