It's the Nimitz museum, out in the hill country.
I think they are also looking for an ART-13.

  Howdee all,

  Several years ago I had a truly mint piece of WWII aircraft radio gear. I spread it around the internet, perhaps even here, and a WWII Aircraft museum somewhere in Texas paid for the shipping and returned to me a more beat up identical unit for me to use for parts. 

  They sent me pictures of my new in the original box unit displayed under glass at the museum.

  Perhaps someone on the list here knows of this museum and can let them know about this piece? I'm thinking the museum was in the DFW area ? ? ?

    There was a beautiful BC-375 and PE-73 displayed in the PBY Memorial
    Museum in Oak Harbor, WA a couple of years ago.  It had all tubes and
    looked brand new, no wear and tear, etc.  Might not be appropriate to
    the PBY, but nice to see! Does anyone know what radios were installed in
    the PBY?

    It would be great to get this to some historic aircraft association
    museum for one of their flying birds.  But, it will never happen.
