The Nike "museum" is in Marin county (north of San Francisco). I'll
make some prints of the items and see if anyone there has a clue. I
know the guide that actually worked at the site when it was active
died a few years ago, so the knowledge pool lost a good one.

Thanks for your help.

wondering if this is the radar with a more permanent housing..

Makes sense - Old Nike radars are still used for range instrumentation.
You can buy one yourself from Radio Research out in Connecticut.
(I'm saving up for the B-47 tail turret, myself)
