Hi J. Forster,

I have an Eico 950 that I built in high school so I don't want to dispose of 
it.

However I have two TO-4 Sprague testers.  I will check out both of these 
over this next weekend and if
both work I will send you one. I believe I have the manual and I will 
include a copy of it also. They may need some
caps replaced and some TLC but neither of them have been abused.

I will be happy to donate one of them to the Battleship Massachusetts along 
with the shipping to get it to you.

Thanks for all you do to help keep these Battleships for all to remember.

A number of years ago my wife and I were privileged to experience the 
Arizona (which unless you have been there and seen the diesel fuel still 
bubbling up)  It was a very moving experience. Seen it on tv many times but 
nothing like being there in person. The same with standing on the deck of 
the Missouri where the instrument of surrender was signed.  We both look 
forward to going back and doing it again.
