The World War II submarine Cobia, which has an operating World War II radar, is in need of a TV-7 Tube Tester as their old tester has died.  Please let me know if you have one and would be willing to help out.

The Cobia's SJ-1 radar, is thought to be the oldest operational radar in the world, and the World War II radio shack has been returned to operational status.  You can see the SJ radar in the pictures of the conning tower in the virtual tour.  Click on the named areas in the submarine diagram to see pictures of that area.  I have been on this sub and it is probably the best example of a World War II sub around.
