[Milsurplus] Western Electric 227B Marine RadioTelephone- beg beg beg!

That's definitely the Golden Screwdriver.  Look for stuff that's not 
original and it should be easy.  I've been there before:  I bought a 
Ten-Tec transceiver not working and found the power supply had been 
"redesigned."  The pass transistor had been replaced with a 2N3055 which 
is good for maybe 5 Amps, which failed, then he replaced the regulating 
transistors with PNP (not good) and pulled the SCR, which at least was 
not destructive.  Then he converted it to a non-regulated supply and 
brought power out to new studs on the front panel.  I fixed it and it's 
working fine.  He also replaced the LED's with inappropriate floor 
sweepings that didn't work right either.
