[Milsurplus] A suite deal?

I grant it's a cool looking set, but you can have my share.
One BIG flaw in these sets is the band change design.
  The band switch pushes a big steel rod front-to-back 
and engages a bunch of levers that are screw-compression 
clamped onto rods that go into the switch banks at right-angles 
to the big steel rod.  The screw-compressed clamps/levers are
made of some kind of cheap pot metal and they fracture 
behind the screws, leaving you with one set of band switches
that won't track.  I've had two of these sets and both had
the problem.  No "quick fix" was worth the time.  
I wouldn't want to get another.
