Hey all, I'm looking for at least 9 more RCA AVA10 or AVA53 V Cut 
crystals for my L-5 project. It appears that Stinson delivered the 
aircraft stateside with the AVA crystals and a storage rack for that 
sized unit was installed in the aircraft. Once the aircraft was assigned 
to a unit, the AVA series crystals were removed and the FT-243's were 
installed. Stinson never made a rack to store the FT's and it appears 
that they were carried loose, in either the pilot's pocket or within a 
gear bag in the back seat. I've got enough of the FT's but need to find 
more AVA's to fill the rack and it's cover. For size reference, the AVA 
are a little bigger than the old Zippo lighter and about 6-8 ounces each.
