( Forwarding also to a Washington state radio collector club. ) 

There was a Navy navigation signals transmitter, model YG, looked unused, at 'Washington Liquidators' in south Seattle, late 1970s. My friend 
Greg Schilling introduced me to that place. They had boxes of cut-off mil connectors and we would paw thru them looking for that elusive one.
 Price was something like $.75 a connector. The YG was never sold, i am certain. Unfortunately this was not a time when everyone had a camera
 capable device in their pocket, so i did not document it, as we would say. The Liquidators site was some hulking ancient looking red brick building 
which had once been a brewery. I don't know what it is now. Liquidators of course eventually closed and the YG, i am sure, went into the metal 
cauldron. It deserved to be saved, absolutely, maybe the last of its kind extant, "somewhere", but who among us civilians has the time and place, 
and physical strength ?
