Lot 71266 ECS Relay Box is from the Lunar Module, not the Command Module. The number LDW390-10183-11 is a Grumman part number. (I have a similar unit in my collection.)

Does anyone have any thoughts on the lunar TV camera housing lot in the sale?

Obviously not the final version as used on Apollo 11 as the body is the wrong shape, but it does resemble what, I assume, was an early proposal from Westinghouse with the stepped rear casing. Maybe an initial concept mockup? Interesting.

If interested, there are some wonderful images of this version of the lunar TV camera as part of the Digital Maryland archives. Search for Lunar Camera - National Electronic Museum.

There is a great picture of it with a 1970 Emmy for Outstanding Achievement in Coverage of a Special Event. So proud!
