It was (is?) Russian practice to place NDBs at either end of a given runway, by knowing (in advance) the pair of NDB frequencies for your destination airfield runways this enabled a simple runway localiser function to be created. By toggling the coaming A/B switch on approach, if there was no displacement of the ADF display needle against the runway heading, then you were aligned with the selected runway NDB pair. If you've taken all the original comms/nav kit out then the toggle switch should be superfluous. Hope this helps, Rob R.

It certainly was an inexpensive way to set up an runway approach. On some of the Russian approaches you could fly a complete pattern (4 NDBs). It was always my concern that the aircraft ADF needle could also point to any nearby TS, which I saw often enough to avoid them. Thanks for the info of the A/B switch. I often imagined some poor Russian franticly dialing and re dialing NDB frequencies at the speed of the rubber bladed windshield defogger fan.

There is still no oil pressure on the front cockpit gauge. I have already swapped the cannon plugs at the sender and established they are both functioning correctly. I guess this must be a wiring issue, I will check for continuity using a multimeter on each pin of the cannon plugs. Any other ideas??

Thanks Rob, I suspected something like that or Intercom and the old Russian gear is all out, so Smoke System Switch it becomes. Thanks!
