| Subject: | AIC BOx, for Nam Era Warbird needed |
--> Warbird-List message posted by: "Martini Luc J.R." <martini@foxinternet.net>
I have unsuccessfully been trying to IDENTIFY and ACQUIRE an AIC box for my warbird
(Israeli DROR (sparrow), an IAF modified Dornier Do27 by any other name).
The AIC box I am looking for, is similar to the C-737/AIC-4A Interphone box in
function. However, it has different connectors on the back (1 ea 10 pin and 1
ea 14 pin Cannon Plugs)
This AIC box would most likely be located on a Nam Era warbird since all the radios
installed by the IAF were of that era.
The box has 6 toggle switches. Three of these supply power to up to 3 radios (ARC-51,
ARC-131 & HF(?)). There is also a rotary switch, which selects the radio
being used to Transmit. There is also a Volume Control Knob, and possibly a
Tone Button. The other 3 Toggle Switches may select which RECEIVER HOMING signal
gets is hooked up to the Course Deviation Indicator.
I have some very bad old pictures of the box, as well as of the AIC-4A. So if
you think you know your AIC boxes, send me an e-mail and I will send those.
I should add, that the airplane also uses the AN/AIC-18 Intercom Boxes for crew
communications. Obviously, the AIC box I am looking for relates to Pilot Selections
of Transmit/Receive functions rather than Crew Intercom function which
is served by the AIC-18 boxes located at each crew station, including one for
the pilot.
Thanks for your help.

The SOCKS I am referring to are the WINSLOW AEROFILTER CO. OIL FILTER CARTRIDGES.
The P/N for these, the ORIGINAL FULL FLOW oil filters, which have a cloth cover
(i.e.. the name SOCKS) is P/N 1AO586, or for the kit which includes a new seal
for the pressel and new nut for the Marmon Clamp, P/N A0286.
These cartridges are rather large: about 9 inches long, by 4 1/2 inches in Diameter...
obviously the pressure vessel they fit in is rather substantial also.
(if your not sure.. send an e-mail and I will send you a picture of one)
These oil filters were used on many military aircraft as well as STC'd for several
civilian birds, including:
Aerocommander 560, 690 and 720 series:
Beechcraft 50 and 65 series
Bell 47 and 476 series
Stearman 75's
Dornier Do28's
Hiller UH-12 helicopters
Most people have converted to spin-ons, so I am hoping that somebody out there
has a box full of these sitting in the corner of the hanger. If so, I will gladly
take them off your hands.
Or, if you know of somebody that may, let them know I'm interested, or just send
me an e-mail and instructions to get hold of them.
Thanks for the help

I am looking for a 4 TUBE IR Countermeasures Flare Launcher. Each tube appears
to be about 3 1/2 inches in diameter, and closely spaced like in a 6 pack of
beer. The flares were electrically fired (since I found 4 wires leading from
a Fire Control / Sequencer panel on the Copilot Radio stack thad led to the 4
big holes in the side of the fuselage where the launcher was mounted..
I have not been able to identify much less acquire one of these. The airplanes
were taken out of service in the early 1980's, so they predate that.
The Fire Control / Sequencer box, oddly was about the width of a CIVIL radio, not
the 5 3/4inch standard military panel.
I have some bad old pictures of what the Fire-Control / Sequencer box looks like,
so if you have some ideas, drop a line, and I will send a picture.
Thanks again
