Manchu Warrior Posted October 14, 2021 Share #4 Posted October 14, 2021 I have owned one of these tanker helmets for years and didn't know the proper nomenclature until I read this thread. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunguy45 Posted October 19, 2021 Share #6 Posted October 19, 2021 I've been looking for a T56-6 for a few years, I foolishly passed on a nearly complete one thinking I'd easily find a better one. Lesson learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettbragg12 Posted December 3, 2021 Share #7 Posted December 3, 2021 Love the personalization on this helmet. Having owned a few of these, and actively still using one in a restored M113, the comms on these usually still work with a little TLC. However I think it will be a challenge to locate JUST the comms box and speakers. If you find a source, let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have source but he needs a good pic of what it looks like. He buys anything vintage radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cagedfalcon Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted December 19, 2021 Thanks Wasn't there an earlier version? Or did I read an article wrong. A pic of model # for him too. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only difference could have potentially been a hexagonal microphone instead of the tear drop shaped. Not sure I saw a model number I’ll check. But it’s a pretty unique looking piece to the helmet so it should stick out to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagedfalcon Posted December 19, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted December 19, 2021 Understand, but may have set for another model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
