We do a lot of displays in our area, including historic timeline for the military. If we do one in Austin, unless it is at Camp Mabry, its usually "vehicles only, no weapons". (Austin is getting to be like a piece of California plonked down in the middle of...
Looks like the manual for that unit is TM 9-4120-403-14. You might try finding a copy of that and see what it tells you.
Surplus stuff like a/c units are often sold at auction without things like power chords (in fact, getting the chords would be a pleasant surprise!), Colemans likely didn't...

By that, I mean it is easier (for me anyway, and likely some others) to find "M809" than...
Welcome aboard.

I have it on my calendar, Mik.
Two hours each way for me in an M1009 or civvy vehicle
John, longer drive for you, but it would be nice to see you!
Sorry you'll be far away, Carnac.

Congratulations 155mm!!
