[PPRAANet] Cushcraft A3 or A3s 3 Element Yagi

[N0MUD at aol.com]

Hi folks, I need some replacement  parts for my A-3(s) 3 element 10/15/20 
meter beam (yagi) so that I can get it  back into the air.  It was brought to my 
attention this last Saturday  "before the weather change" that there is some 
parts that have started to rust  and I am missing some parts that yes you can 
see where they belong on the boom  and no I don't ever think I had them because 
I've never removed that section of  antenna for any reason.

So if you have a cushcraft A-3 or A3s parts or  what ever laying around 
collecting dust or rust(no rust please) I need the  following:

A-3 paperwork
1. On the Boom to Mast assembly part number  or as it's listed Key: 58 and 
63.  The key #58 is a V-block and fits 403  U-bolt and key #63 is a V-block fits 
404 U-bolt.

2. Also any U-bolts keys  403 and 404

3. element mounting keys 33, 143, and 402.  Keys 33 is a  Backing plate, 143 
is a aluminum bracket, and 402 is the u-bolt that goes into  the aluminum 
bracket.

A-3s paperwork
1. Key 33 is called a formed  aluminum bracket and is key 143.  The u-bolt is 
key 3 and the v-block is  still called key 63, and the u bolts are key 98 and 
2 for the boom to mast  assembly.

I know I can hopefully order these parts from Cushcraft but I  would rather 
query the local ham community and see if anyone can help me.   The quicker I 
can get these parts the sooner I can get my A-3(s) back up in the  air whenever 
we have our next nice warm (no wind) weekend.

Thanks &  73s to all.

Mike Dassero, NØmud
