I think that just about everyone in the business is sold out of MS-51's.  The 
reason appears to be that it is the top section for the SCR-610 and people 
are always losing them.  I know of one guy in SC to whom I sold three or four, 
one at a time.  I don't currently have any extra MS-117-A left but if you look 
around, I think you can still find them.  Problem is that for an HF setup, it 
takes three.

To use the earlier types, all I can suggest is to machine the male threads 
and heli-coil the female ones on an MS-52.  But I would still suggest searching 
for MS-117-A's first.
