[ARC5] Looking for a TBY-1 for museum display

[Tim]

Hi Dennis - nice idea for a display at CHRS... Unfortunately I don't have a
TBY to offer, I donated mine to the Veterans Memorial Building in Danville,
across the hills from Alameda. I did a Navaho Code Talkers display there a
few years back, it was a hit with the visitors... Take a look at the post I
wrote about it:  https://www.n6cc.com/navajo-code-talkers-display/

I have a functioning APR-1 radar surveillance receiver that I told Bart I
would donate to CHRS.  I think you have a few tuning units for these.  I
have to get over there and drop it off...
Cheers - have fun building the display..
