[Milsurplus] Re: my request for TBW parts

[w0oog@att.net]

I will put out a call for a 843 tube.
Last time I did this, the Cavalla recieved $500 in
tubes for it's 1MC from a DD Capt. (ret).
Lets see if I can get two in a row.
I will especially be trying to work you on 14.043
(daytime), 7043 (evenings) from "SeaWolf" Park.
