Hello Dave and anyone else who can help.

I acquired a very sad-looking BC-453 that had been severely hamaged. While I have used OEM parts wherever possible - tuning capacitor, IFTs, tube sockets - I have completely rewired it as a late model R-23 / ARC-5 - all new bypass capacitors, new resistors where originals were OC or near thereunto, all new tubes. I've connected it up to a bench PSU - the LT and HT are being distributed exactly according to Doctor Drake's specification.

But among all my Command spares I don't have a BFO coil or its aluminium cubic container. Can you help?
