Title: More from the flea / U S Navy Repair Parts Box
Post by: lptools on August 06, 2017, 12:05:26 PM
Hello, I picked this up for the cool factor, and how well it was taken care of. All of the numbered cubes in the bottom drawer are in order and all seem to match the chart!!!! Can't find another one like it . Some of the pieces are still in the oil paper.Thanks, Lou

That's a gold mine for the restorer. If you ever tried to rebuild anything that was built for the military you know the difficulty in obtaining original hardware. Any idea what the kit is for or the time period?

Here is the best I could do of a close-up of the contents list. Possibly electrical, radio, or motor repair.

Thanks for posting the closeup. Based on the part list I would guess a teletype repair spare parts kit.
