[Milsurplus] Solid State Vibrator /Inverter kit

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

In all fairness to Ben, I will point out that BC-611's, RT-196's, DAV's, 
MAB's etc. don't have a vibrator (well the latter two can but I don't know of 
anyone who ever found the vibrator supply).  So the kit of parts on offer 
wasn't aimed at them.
