And navigation sets, how many out there(besides me) are actively
collecting the stuff for a working RC-103?

Another thing to remember, that to most WWII airplane drivers, the
radios were just another subsystem in the airplane, our interest
with the electronics is very strange to them, akin to an obsession
with fuel pumps or oil filters.  In fact I would bet that a lot of
pilots would have gladly left the radios out of their aircraft to
carry a couple extra gallons of fuel, or a couple hundred extra rounds 
of .50 caliber ammo.
