HA!

That's what you might think!

Now, I do consider myself a pretty good scrounger of radar junk, but in
the 15 years I have been picking the stuff up, I can say that I have
exactly TWO sets complete to the nut and bolt - an SCR-518-A and an
AN/APN-1 (both altimeters). Certainly there are others that are getting
very close, but there is always that one mount or set of connectors that
refuses to be found. 

Let me know what radar stuff you get off list, and maybe we can do some
trading.  There are quite a few radar sets that I am NOT going out of my
way to collect, as I know the "grab every radar thing in site" method
practiced by some just does not work. The best option is to pick a number
of sets and focus on them, and the others treat as trading stock.
