what all do you have for the 611, we need to enhance our display at the
museum here.  we have  one but has holes in it's poor case!

could use a better case, like it to say Galvin and would like some of the
add on and test stuff to display with it too!

we have been collecting up more Motorola/Galvin ads to use a  scene
background...
