Horror story: I had a 51S-1 in pristine condition, except for a
damaged dial disk. After making a new dial, I lent it to a family
member who had expressed interest in SWL. Instead of using it, he
let it literally rot in a cold, moist shed for a few years. When I
got it back, the chassis was corroded, electrolytic capacitors looked
strange and the receiver was dead, si I gave it away to someone with
the patience to restore it.
Free offer: I still have the Postscript program I wrote for the dial
and, of course, the pdf version. Printing on glossy paper, pasting
to the old disk and spraying with UV resisant makes the dial better
than new. Anyone interested can contact me.
Problem: importing premium Rx from the US to Belgium is prohibitive
due to official highwaymen taking it hostage. Any collectors in
Europe who still have a decent 51S-1 extra?
