Opened Military Avionics or Radio Chassis with DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE Placard, Vietnam War Era
The interior of a military electronics chassis, its access door open to show hand-laced wiring, phenolic terminal boards and axial components typical of American avionics before solid-state miniaturisation. The orange DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE placard warns of the lethal potentials inside. Equipment of this generation was repaired at unit level by technicians working component by component, rather than replaced as a sealed module. Project: 219827
