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.
