As it says, MN-26C radio compass. These were used aboard aircraft for radio direction finding and navigating. Operated in the broadcast band region.

Missing the control box, indicator & loop aerial.

These were a major advancement when they first appeared as they were considered to be the most successful of their kind . From memory they had a sense function that enabled the user to work out which bearing was correct . Normally you got two bearings 180 degrees apart .
