Hello,

 

A wonderful PBY restoration is in need of a manual reel assy for the trailing wire antenna. Would anyone know where they could find one? For donation or for sale? It is quite the worthy project as this PBY sank over 2 U boats early in the war while flying out of Iceland.

 

Photo attached.

 

Thanks in advance for any help,
