For the life of me I cannot bring up my own listing with any kind of a search mechanism on eBay.  Beats the hell out of me.  The listing number is: 
192096351047   It is listed as:  "USN RADIO TRANSMITTER GO-6; RARE HIGH 
FREQUENCY RF SECTION; WW-II."    I've tried all sorts of variations of the 
title and draw a blank at getting it.  Even with an advanced search for that number I get nothing.  Maybe somebpody else besides me can find it.

Regards,
George
