My heart is really broken. I did a stupid thing and tried to carefully balance a BC-223-AX thatwas in mint condition. It fell about 4 feet and is now damaged. I could kill myself. Not only did I damage the radio, but I damaged the wall and the hardwood floor.. ARRGGGHH. But I’m most concerned about the radio. Amazingly, the tubes did not shatter. Below are some pictures.
 
  
 
I am in need of both insulators (ANT & CPSE) and if someone has a very nice shockmount base plate. The base plate might be straighten-able but I’m not sure I have the right tools to do it.  If necessary, I’ll reach out to fair radio but thought someone on these lists might have a parts unit.

It could have been much worse, but I could really kill myself for not being more careful.
