[R-1051] New Member

[Joseph Pinner]

Don't know how I missed the existence of this list for so long!

I am an avid fan of the R-1051() and its relatives T-827() and URC-35.

I have  both an R-1051B and R-1051E (the B is not presently working), 
and regularly use the URC-35B on NAVMARCORP MARS (sort of appropriate 
for this wonderful Navy set). The E uses the later IC 'six pack.' Would 
like to find some docs on it.

Also have a T-827 but it has several electrical and mechanical 
problems. And I do not have the junction box anyway.

Over the last year, I have run across two 8116A tubes to have as 
spares. I won one on eBay for about $ 20 (several months ago). The 
other I found at a hamfest. They are hard to find, but a few are out 
there.

I have some six packs that need repairing. I think I remember reading 
that someone of the list does repairs on these. Wonder what the average 
cost would be (roughly)?
