[Vintage-Radio] WW II, SST-1 Tx

[Ray LaRue]

I have in my B/A collection a World War II, SST-1-903 "spy" transmitter.  It
is a real gem, in excellent condition and still works.   It is currently on
display in my office at work.

It was given to me by the OSS officer (a OT ham now deceased), who used it
behind the German lines during the Normandy invasion, to report troop
movements.  He was able to bring it home with him after the war.

It consist of a single 6L6G (the original tube I believe), with a built in
key.  It is bandswitching, designed for 3 to 14 MHz, with  an internal
antenna
tuner.  Although I have one crystal for it (7010 kHz), I would like to find
a couple more, namely for other 80, 40 and 20 meter CW frequencies.  It uses
the old style large military crystals with 3/4" pin spacing.

Does anyone have or know of, any such crystals available ?  I would like to
put the SST-1 on the air more often.  Although I can feed it with a VFO,
additional crystal frequencies would be helpful in operating as it was
originally used.

Your attention is appreciated.
