[R-1051] Chain, Chain, Chain (R-1051 style)

[Nick England]

I have added a little more chaon info to my R-1051 page
http://www.navy-radio.com/rcvrs/r1051.htm#chains
Corrections and additions are welcome.

I recently got a T-827J with a couple of busted plastic chains. So I robbed
metal chains off an R-1051 parts carcass. That's when I discovered that the
length of the chains truly did vary from model to model --- and it really
does matter!
So I am hoping to get by with a too-short 134 link chain plus baling wire
extension link....hey, at least it's stainless steel baling wire...
Note: it looks like the R-1051's too-long 210 link chain will be OK with
the adjustable idler taking up the slack.

Has anyone ever discovered a source for stainless steel chains that doesn't
require winning the lottery??

Or does anyone want to trade some R-1051G chains for some R-1051 ones?
