[Milsurplus] I-208 signal generator value

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

George,

I don't totally agree with Hue.  If someone is willing to pay your cost for 
crating it (it's too heavy for cardboard) I would do it if it appears to be 
complete.  The things actually work pretty well.  Far better than any of 
the current Chinese junk.  It's main drawback is that it is dynamotor powered 
and designed to require an FT-237 to operate in.  The later AN/URM-48 
(SG-12/U) is a better deal although unfortunately most were converted to SG-12A to 
use with the later FM sets.  At the very least, you should salvage the 
dynamotor out of it as it is the rare DM-64-A for the BC-923.  And the IF 
section can supply parts to "de-convert" an SG-12A.
