Question Abut Load on Aft Radio Shelf

[cliffy]

Has anyone ever seen a weight limit published for the radio shelf aft of the cabin in the hell hole?

I've been searching and if there is one I have missed it somewhere.

Its probably hiding in plain sight an I have my eyes closed ! :-)

Yeah the problem with the factory bombsight option in my plane is that it only leaves enough useful load for a bag of flour.

Perfect for training missions, ain't it??

A Photon Torpedo cannon! 

Its a loose end of missing information that I want to find. 

Have seen many radios mounted back there but nowhere can I find the shelf load limit

Inquiring minds want to know

I had ten pounds of ADF loop coiled up on mine.

I’ve seen some late models with way more avionics installed on that shelf than I’ve ever seen in a C model.

Why not ask Frank Crawford?

How?  I have never talked with him 

The brain trust around here hasn't ever seen the limits either?

60  years in the field and no one knows the limit number?

As mentioned I've seen many different installations on those shelves but never gave  thought to a weight limit before now.

I'll give it a try

BTW  Some time back I asked the factory about a Letter of No Technical Objection to  use the spring push rods on the nose gear of the manual gear Mooneys and they aid they'd talk about it and I never heard back I'll bring that up also.

Thanks.
