Identify These Radio Sets

[maxim]

I would like to know the model designation, approximate years of use and applicaton of each of these:

First, is a radio with frequency range of 200-280 Mhz on a rotating dial and presume it a ground vehicular to airborne variety. There is not a tag on it. Does this get power from a PP 109 or 112 and what would be the antenna.

Second, is a wood cased set with tubes and two locking dials "I" band and "G" band labled BC-1006-B Philco Corporation. Apparently a test set for something but what.

Here is a link to some info on the Philco radio. Apparently it is an aircraft radio from WWII.

First one is a R-110/GRC. I have one in my VRC-17 set that is in my 53' M38a1. Mine gets it's power through the PP-112.

It is amazing the answers come from just around the corner...hey Beast thanx..I intend to use them for display in a '55 M38a1 Air Force (Strata) if I ever get it done. It was a disaster but originally came from Wurtsmouth. I already have a PP-112. Got any idea for a near correct antenna or will the 116,117,118 work? I see on yours where the data plate was and only glue left on mine.

Mine is not hooked up to the antenna right now until I find the cable jumper to hook the antenna of the R-110 through the antenna of the RT-67. I currently have the 116,117,118 to an AB-15 base mounted on a MP 50 with the corner mount. Stop in sometime when you are down this way if you want to check it out.
