The RX-340 and WJ-8711/HF-1000 were competing designs submitted in
response to a government proposal. Watkins-Johnson won the contract and
Ten-Tec grumbled loud and long afterward. The constraints of the RFP are
why the front panels look similar.
To my knowledge, which is based on interviews with more than twenty WJ
engineers, Ten-Tec and Watkins-Johnson have never worked together. In
fact sometimes the East Coast and West Coast division of Watkins-Johnson
had difficulty working together. And for a short while there were two
divisions within Gaitherburg competing with each other for the same
contracts.

Hi All:
This is to let you know that many spare parts and cards for the
Watkins-Johnson 8618B Receivers are currently available from a
Turkish eBay seller, Murat Hayan who lives in Ankara; he offers a lot of
parts thru the eBay shop of his wife and the prices are very
reasonable indeed.
For those who could be interested this is the link to the shop:
https://www.ebay.com/sch/anabellee3/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
I have known Murat for many years and I confirm that he is a
serious, kind and honest person.
Please notice that also a lot of not yet listed pats are available, so
for sure it's better to ask the seller directly.
Hope this info is useful for someone...
Best regards, 73

I have a new RACAL desk cabinet for an RA17 or RA117 that I acquired and do
not need. It is very heavy duty steel with louvers on both sides. I suspect
It was built for the Navy given its sturdy construction. I can send
pictures if you are interested.

I need the function LCD display from a RACAL RA6790 (the non /GM version)
if anyone has a donor parts unit out there.
