Bear with us Chuck.  I suspect the majority here recognize how stunning
the goal and the ultimate achievement of authentically configuring the 
avionics of 70 year old military aircraft represents.  It is extremely
difficult today, but it's a project to be encouraged whenever it is
seriously pursued.  What I hate are those "sporterized" military aircraft
(like the CAF's) that have almost no connection under the skin to the
technology that produced the aircraft for military use.

About half of the items in your list, incomplete as you noted, are
very hard to find.  Some of the items you listed I've been seeking for
25 years without ever seeing one for sale.  However, I don't live near
D-M AFB where all sorts of goodies have made it into local hands without
showing up, out here in the Southeast US.

I hope for your success.  It will take a long while to achieve.

73,
Mike / KK5F
