[Milsurplus] More on BC375 Tube Subbing

Lloyd,

That would have been General Supply & Equipment Co., 4300 O.S.T.  During the 
80's and 90's, they mostly had nothing radio related and very little military, 
but I did once find a large batch of mechanical tuning cables (the larger 
ones that fit everything except the Command Sets).  I haven't been over there in 
several years, as in the later years I never found much of interest and since 
I retired and don't go the the Reserve Center regularly, it's a long trek for 
a dry run.
