★ Reproduction of the original WWII protective cover for the MP-48 antenna base. Essential component for preserving the fragile porcelain insulator.
Application
This cover is placed over the MP-48 or MP-48-A antenna base when the aerial installation is not in use. The MP-48 antenna base was used with various WWII radio installations such as SCR-609, SCR-610, BC-659 and other vehicle-mounted radio sets. The cover protects the porcelain insulator against breakage during storage, transport or when the vehicle is in motion without active radio installation.
Installation notes
The cover is simply slipped over the antenna base to completely cover the porcelain insulator. Remove the cover before fitting antenna sections (MS-53, MS-54, etc.). The cover is intended for protection during non-use, not during operational radio deployment.
Compatibility
Specifically designed for MP-48 and MP-48-A antenna base. Does NOT fit other antenna bases such as AB-15/GR, MP-57, MP-65 or MP-68 which have a different diameter and shape. Check the type of antenna base before ordering.
Historical context
The BG-108 cover was standard equipment with vehicle-mounted radio installations during WWII. The cover prevented damage to the expensive and fragile porcelain insulator of the MP-48 antenna base, particularly important during tactical movements and field storage.
