I have about 100 feet of the small diameter coax I was talking about a few
weeks earlier.  This is teflon/teflon with silver-plated braid and I think
the center conductors are silver-plated as well.  Very nice cable that is a
perfect replacement for the interconnecting cables for the PTO, IF-to-RF,
RF-to-Crystal Deck, and the RF-to-Antenna connections.

I think 8 feet is enough to do one radio.  If you'd like some of this, send
me $2 and I'll send you 8 feet.  I'd like to keep it to no more than two
orders for one individual at first.  If I end up with surplus, then I'll
sell more than two orders but I'd like to spread this out as far as I can at
first.

I just got finished replacing the cable on my PTO and it really looks nice.
I was able to slip the old cable identifier off the old cable, slip it on
the new cable, and affix it in place with some clear shrink tubing.  If
anyone has a source for these cable ID labels (the good ones made from
plastic or teflon), I'd like some for my other cables.  I'm not sure I'll be
able to get the metal ones off and onto the new cable.  If I can't, I'll
need some ID labels.

When I bought 25 feet for my use and the guy found out it fits the R390A, he
wanted to see to it that we got some of this stuff to help restore our
radios - a "pay it forward" kind of thing.  He's a very nice guy to do
business with.

EMail me if you want some.  It is nice stuff.
