Pardon me, but it seems silly that a TBY-1 must talk to another TBY-1. The only TBY that could not be in that combat situation was the TBY-8, maybe -6. I think if you find one with the 2 pilot lamps in upper front panel, you're good to go, but i understand it's YOUR choice of criteria.
There was this place, "National Museum of Electronics", i think that's its name, and i know nothing at all about it. A couple years back they had a thinning - out sale, live attendance ONLY, and one item was the Westinghouse HR, the single band predecessor to the TBY, this with front panel markings in SPANISH. They were not able to make any accomodation to their sale setup, of even answer my inquiry; so be it.
I have 2 of TBY, pretty much complete, except i need to find here the vibe power supplies for them. I will sell them, not donate.
I also recall i have an "overhauled" repainted one with AC supply. I just dread⁰ to think about the process of removing the old paint, and i'm quite sure the worker was not aware of the topic, "radium".
