[Milsurplus] TBX Receiver plug

[Ken Kinderman]

Mine is a TBX-5, so I am assuming radium dials.

Still need the 8 pin RX plug.

What should I do with the -5? My only options are a) to pass it on/sell at
some point or b) take it to the local hazardous waste facility.

It’s very clean and it has the TBX-8 crystal oscillator that clamps to the
side. No other accessories.

Undecided.
