[ForSale-Swap] Dentron tuner part needed (was Dentron Mla2500 amp)

[Gregory W. Moore]

Good afternoon,
I own a Dentron antenna tuner,  Model 160-10AT s/n 6975.

However, there is a problem. One of the acrylic spacers for the tuning 
caps have disintegrated, due to shipping damage--hi.-- The difficulty 
here is that 1/2" square extrusions, of acrylic, delrin, nylon, lexan, 
teflon, or any other plastic are becoming virtual unobtainum here in the 
Philly area. All the good electronics stores have closed. Most of the 
local plastic supply houses don't want to deal with small amounts, have 
no knowlege of things electronic,.  and have no conception of the end 
use to which I want to employ the product.

If anyone on the list knows of a source where I might purchase a 1/2 
square extrusion of any good insulating plastic, at least 8" in length, 
please let me know. Also, if someone has a Dentron tuner they are 
parting out, and have the plastic insulators, I would be interested in 
purchasing same. The 1/2" is the critical dimension, as that is what 
spaces the tuning cap high enough for the shaft to exit the preexisting 
hole in the front cover. Width is unimportant to me, I can cut the stuff 
down.
