How are you fixed for the accessories- 
shock mounts, racks, connectors, control boxes etc.?
Do you have a list of specific needs, i.e. "(3) PL-152 connectors"?

Was thinking- how about someone sends you his restored,
working example of a specific radio.   If you find it acceptable,
you send him your unrestored set as a 'trade."  His work at
restoring the first set is his contribution to your cause.

Also- How about on-going maintenance?
Getting the equipment into as-original working condition
is a great start, but like everything else in these irreplaceable 
aircraft, it's getting old.  Parts will fail over time and sets will need
occasional maintenance.   I restore my sets to original-design
operation (or as close as is possible) and many run for years
without trouble, but others need a screwdriver from time to time.
