[Hammarlund] Yaesu Rotor Problem

I have a bunch of NOS control head cables for MICOR, MITREK, etc. Great 
cables....not several hundred feet, such as we'd want for rotors and other 
remote control stuff, but super wire.

Over the years I have used bits & pieces of it, but it still takes up 
bunches of space & weight in my "stash" boxes....I really don't have much 
use for it any more but on the other hand I'm reluctant to get rid of such 
nice stuff. Now...if I had a 200' length of this stuff I could donate it to 
Glen, but then he'd have to start splicing again...
