[R-390] Wanted: junker Cosmos PTO's

[Tim Shoppa]

You guys may recall my voyage into the heart of my VFO (pretty much
tearing down every single component in the can) a few weeks ago.

In an effort to learn more, I would like to find a few truly junker
quality PTO's for me to tear apart and measure and reassemble in
probably unrecognizable form. Probably prefer Cosmos mechanisms but
I am willing to learn about others. And I am truly truly looking for
basket cases here, whatever I do to these will make Frankenstein
look like a wax job. I am mostly interested in the stuff inside
the can so if parts are missing/lost/hopelessly damaged on the outside
that is fine by me.

Also interested in junker BFO reactors for similar experimentation.

Will trade NOS tubes (usually JAN or British mil-spec) and/or
390A RF deck miscellany (springs, clamps, gears, etc.) for them.
I also have some original 390A AC filters. Will also part with small
quantities of cash and a good but used ballast tubes if sufficiently
motivated.
