Here in NE Texas, there is a gentleman retired after 30 years skippering tug boats, working with the Navy. He's "tugged" from fishing boats to aircraft carriers, subs and battleships. His son is now carrying on that tradition. He used the BC-669 in many of his vessels and would be delighted to have one to use on our local AM nets. He has a 669 manual he has kept and looked through lovingly over the years. He's enthusiastic about having one working in his shack.I'm reviving one for him and am hoping you folks can donate a few parts I need to complete the set:The frame on the front of the RF deck that holds the frequency chart.Two (2) tested good 807 tubes.FT-243, DC-34, DC-35 etc. crystals for 3885 and 3880 KC.Four (4) glass 6L6 tubes. Metal will not fit in the modulator tube sockets. I can trade tested good metal for glass on request.Thanks for any help you can give. My address is good in qrz.com.TNX OM ES 73 DE Dave AB5S
