While you are at the hamfest looking at stuff..... I need the tuning dial
window for a Navy RBK-16 27.8 MHz to 143 MHz receiver (1952).  Not the round
metal dial cover... just the plastic window inside.  RBK-16 is about the
same as the earlier RBK-12 .... all offshoots of the Hallicrafters SX-36(A).
Also two 956 acorn tubes.

The 16 is undergoing some restoration ... it's in great shape ... almost
like new in/out except for UPS breaking the dial window <grin>. Nice old
receiver.... teflon wiring and no black beauties in this late version... a
couple oil filled and most of the rest are ceramic or mica.  The cabinet
with shock mounts is about 1/4" steel and HEAVY.
