[TMC] Castings needed for DM-21

[WA5CAB@cs.com]

Groups,

Is there anyone still around who does home foundry work? Used to be common 
among model railroaders and model ship and boat builders - not so much radio I 
guess. The DM-21's used in the BC-312 and BC-314 (and also RC-58-B) have an 
ageing problem that seems to have gotten worse just over the last couple of 
years. There are two aluminum or pot metal castings attached to the case that 
support the actual dynamotor. Three or four years ago, I could count on about one 
in five being in multiple pieces. Since late last year, that has gone over one 
in two. Anyone up to trying to cast some new ones? Brass would also be 
acceptable. I can provide a (very) few intact samples to use as patterns and can 
handle the minimal finish machining.  I don't expect a freebie (but wouldn't turn 
it down :-) ).  Cash or trade available.
