    Default Looking for Narco Superhomer (doesn't need to be functional)

    Hello forum

    I am looking for an old Narco Superhomer - the kind that originally came in the late 50's Tri Pacer - for use as a static display in the panel when I show my airplane. Also looking for the old Narco VLF - 3 (?) low frequency radio that came below it. Condition not important. Anyone have one in a junk pile, on a shelf, or know of where one is I can buy?

    Thanks everyone!

    Currently under rebuilding to be the finest 58 Tri Pacer in the world!

    I have a couple of old radios, but not sure if it is indeed a Super Homer. I will not be back to the hangar for a few days. Send a PM with a contact number and I will let you know what I have. I saved them from the dumpster for just this reason!

    I have a VHT 3 and possibly a MK 12 if that's what you are looking for.

    Is a Super 12 the same as as a VHT (Narco Superhomer - coffee grinder radio?)

    Well I have flown a few planes that had VHT-3 and MkIIs You might want to do a little research on this. I do believe your 57 would have a MK II in it. My 55 170 had the MKII in it.
    The internet is a wonderful invention for finding this old junk

    Please PM me, I would like to purchase it. I think the Mark II is the correct one after all

    Thanks for the picture! My 1958 came with a Mark II and a VLF(?) 3 low frequency radio also built by Narco. Looking for one of those as well....
