Now that I'm all wound up on 20's and 30's glowbug radios after visiting the 
museum, I'm looking for a few parts to build my next 29 projects. If you can 
help me out, I'd appreciate it.  I'm looking for some nice Cardwell and 
National DX variable capacitors, some Pilot variables, some National style 
tube shields (with bases) like those used in the National SW-5 and SW-3 and 
FB-7 and HRO Jr and HRO Senior and HRO5T, etc, Pilot coils or coil forms, 
and some of those round National IF transformers and BFO coil (like those in 
the FB-7 and HRO) for a superhet project.  I'd like to find a couple more 
blue beehive insulators as well for a PP self exciting oscillator using a 
1/4" copper tube tank coil.  Thanks.

Scott,
I have three large transmitting variable capacitors, one of which is marked 
E.F. Johnson and the other two look like the were made by the same outfit. I 
think I may have two of the stand off insulators (If I can find them). I 
also have three receiver variable capacitors. All yours for $20.00 plus 
postage.

Let me know if interested.

P.S. If not interested, please pass this along to the boatanchors list as 
the list does not like my e-mail address.
