[Milsurplus] Aircraft graveyards as a source of radio parts ?

[Roger Basford]

Hi John,

Thanks, I'll search those companies out and see if they're still with us.

I've tried using car body-filler with some success to make plugs for ARC-5 
radios, seemed to work OK. I fitted the resin and pins into an old octal 
valve base, makes a neater job.

73,

Roger, G3VKM
