An "educated guess," based on what
we've seen of the fate of mil rigs heavier
than a TCS:  Probably less than a couple of dozen
are "out there,"  meaning they could be found by
a collector and acquired.  A fortunate few are in garages
or storage buildings.  The others are rotting in wet
basements or leaking barns.  All are awaiting the
"around tuit" that will likely never come.
That makes your project to ressurect that fine
transmitter all the more important.

Amen.  In the light of today's tech, these folks were
working with "stone knives and bear skins."  But
they accomplished marvels with them.
