[Boatanchors] Collins S Line rigs: Is the Vapor Pressure that high?

[Doug Hensley]

I guess this is a dumb question but where have all the Collins S-Line junkers and scrap rigs gone?  I've been looking for weeks for some replacements parts such as the Chicago Telephone potentiometers that Collins used on the 32S3 & 75S3 rigs and for the life of me don't see anyone with a junk unit.


Is the vacuum for S Line parts so high that they are sucked up off the market instantly?  I remember seeing the picture of R390 and R390A receivers stacked 6 feet tall on 4X4 pallets, enough to fill a football field, all being bull dozed or crushed to reclaim the space in the disposal facility.


Inquiring minds,
