Good deal, Joe.

Sky Craft Surplus sells RG179 and Fair Radio sells the MB connectors.  Both have a minimum order, though.  I think someone on this list bought some of the coax and might sell a small length of it.  Don't remember who it was, though.

Good luck and keep us posted with your progress with the rest of the radio.
