Good morning,
Like some hams before me, I've taken on a Collins 30J-18 project and need parts towork towards some sort of re-assembly.  Missing from my unit is the heart & soul,viz. the 10Y-12 RF deck and the 9RD-7 modulator.  The RF stage sported a pair of813's and the modulator used a pair of C210's.  Needed RF coils include the C-131x gray cube shaped tuned circuit, the 7000B plug in cans & of course ceramic grid tankcoils.  These coil sets were matched for one of 7 band segments.  
This stuff is difficult to describe to someone who has not seen them but a manual forthe 30J-18 is posted on K4OZY's Repository site:

I can also send anyone some brief PDF pictures of same.  If you think you may have parts, you can verify what you have looking at that manual.  Get in touch if you havesomething which might apply.  If you are reading this from an archive resource, don'tassume I am no longer interested in finding parts.  It's highly unlikely that anything will surface but you never know.
Best Regards,
John W5JV
