          The shock mount is from an old friend of mine the APN-157 Loran.

                      
      The APN-157 and I mated up at Mare Island Naval Shipyard (MINSY) thanks to the Navy I returned to the Air Force with valuable information on the operation of this set. Anyway I spotted the shock mount for this receiver at a hamfest and it wound up in my Operations Center. Photo and info from PRC68.com.
                
               My shock mount was 22 inches long and required a modification
          of the radio rack to accomodate the extra length..
