[R-390] Parts needed for RBB or RBC Navy Receiver

[Cecil Acuff]

This is a phenomenal museum.  I go every chance I get since I only live a 
couple of hours away.  If you ever get a chance, go see the place and plan 
to spend the day...between what is inside and what is parked outside it 
takes that long.

If you can support this effort with a receiver or parts it would be going to 
a great cause!

> The Naval Air Museum at NAS Pensacola has a recreation of a WW-II aircraft 
> carrier "Island", plus portions of the flight deck and other ships spaces. 
> They are currently trying to put together an exhibit of a portion of Radio 
> Central. They are in need of an RBA, and several RBB and RBC receivers. 
> They do not all need to be functioning. I currently have an inoperative 
> RBB to be used, however it is missing several pieces to make the front 
> panel look cosmetically correct. I am looking for a frequency bezel with 
> attachment screws, a frequency tuning knob (the large knob with the 
> handle), one front panel "mushroom style" knob used to pull the radio out 
> of its case, a front panel Decibels "Input" meter and a front panel "DC 
> Volt" meter, and 9 panel thumbscrews used around the panel edge to secure 
> the radio to its case. The meters do not need to be operative, these parts 
> are being use to restore a receiver that will be used in a non-operative 
> position where visitors can twiddle with the knobs.
>
> We are also looking for operative/inoperative RBA, RBB and RBC's and power 
> supplies as well, for the actual operating position. Any source of parts
