[R-1051] R-1051B Need Help/New Member

Metal is the only way to go, if you got nylon remove and throw out and put the old school stuff back in!  I work on the radios but do to the huge weight and problems shipping will only do radios brought to the shop. Got a Harris AN/URC-94 that's been breaking my back all week on the bench right now. Why is it that everything designed for navy use weighs so much? Did the contractors get paid by the pound?

Fair Radio has the chain sets for something like..... $40.

One of my "H" models needs fixed.  Do we know anyone that does those?
