Unidentified Radar Unit

Hi
Can anyone identify this radar unit?
Number on the scope = * ID-15/APA-1
Number on the control box = *C-15/APA-1

Does anyone know what aircraft it was used on & what the use was?

Thanks in advance

The ASB radar was fitted to a number of Fleet Air Arm aircraft, including FAA Avengers and, if I recall correctly, Barracudas.

Radar

Thanks,
I wonder how it ended up in the UK?

Or were they used on Fleet air arm Avengers?

AN/APA-1 was the display unit for the US Navy ASB radar, which was carried on a variety of aircraft types such as the Avenger.
