This the real thing - NEW - OLD stock made by the Link Aviation Instrument Company. I did a lot of work at the old Johnsville PA NAWDC base, which used to be the old WWII Brewster Aircraft Factory. Since the Brewster Buckeener , Bermuda, and Buffalo were less then spactular aircraft and the production was limited to export volumns, Brewster took on contracts to do the final assembly of many of the varient of the Link Trainers. The sub assemblies where shipped to Johnsville PA where they would be assembled and " Test Flown ", and accepted on site by Navy Inspectors. When I was working at Johnsville in the 70's I got this NEW Orignal Indicator from a from Navy Inspector who was still working there. It is absolutely 1000% authentic, 1000% mint condition, still in its orignal Link boxe in the orignal packing. It is possible that these may have been use in other aircraft as well, so Warbird owners take a close look at the details and see if they fit your TBM or C-3, P-20, etc. These are a very rare item - so hurry and get them before some collector or warbird opwerator swoops them up !! Thanks for the reply.
I recieved the following information for a very knowledgable customer " According to Wikipedia, DME was first used in the 1950's, like the VHF Omni Range (VOR).
The book by Lloyd Kelly, "The Pilot Maker", goes into good detail about Ed Link's different models, beginning in the 1930's and extending into the 1960's. The early WWII models were lettered A,B,C,D & E depending on date of manufacture and equipment installed. The latest was termed ANT-18, designed as a joint army-navy trainer in US and UK service. The most sophisticated instrumentation involved an ILS type radio beacon receiver for the navy.
I'm sure your instrument will not work in a WW II Link "
