[CW] AF4K Crystals needs old FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals for rebuilding

[D.J.J. Ring, Jr.]

Is there a commercial need for crystals?  Does anyone still make them? I
wonder if you could raise enough capital to make holders and crystal
fabricating equipment and make a profit?

With no competition, Bomar probably charges a lot for their excellent work.
