SCR-274N Radio System Display Project

I have collected all the equipment listed on this page for the SCR-274N, and am planning to build a full-size recreation of the left side of the aircraft shown on this page. I am still looking for the Radio Operator's Chair and some of the oxygen, electric flightsuit connectors, and a couple other items. If I do not locate these items I will reduce the display to a glass enclosed shelf unit with the equipment as shown. It will be built from copies of the original Martin Plans obtained from the Smithsoanian Air and Space Museum. It is my goal to donate it to a small air museum in the Western United States. If you know any SCR-274N Operators I am interested in collecting their recollections and stories to be given along with the display in written form. I am also considering an audio-visual, or just an audio simulation of the use of this "Command Set".
