[Milsurplus] Bathtubs redux

[wf2u at ws19ops.com]

Dennis,

At least the insulators in the E.H.Scott RCH bathtub caps are some  
sort of hard material, which doesn't melt or soften from the soldering  
iron heat.

If the cap insulators in my AR88LF are like you're describing, I'll be  
in for a lot of aggravation... Then I'll have to find some sort of  
material to substitute those insulators, which doesn't melt from the  
soldering iron.

The AR-88LF project is not imminent, I have some other gear with  
higher priority now.
