This setup will not be located in the aircraft, it will be on a static
display in the museum.

I saw a thing floating around about the restoration of Enola Gay.

They were worried about things like the vacuum tubes having
the correct date codes.

So they probably would not have wanted the civilian equivalents!!

The Vintage Flying Museum at Meacham Field in Fort Worth, Texas,
(http://www.vintageflyingmuseum.org) an IRS-approved non-profit
organization, is looking for five vacuum tubes to complete its static
display of a B-17 WW2 bomber "SCR-287-A liason radio station" setup. They
have already received donations of quite a few components, but they are
still missing a few others. The museum owns and regularly flies
"Chuckie" --
a B-17G aircraft.

They need four NON-FUNCTIONAL VT-4-C and one VT-25 vacuum tubes (they
don't
have to work, there's no plan to make the setup operational, they just
want
it to look complete).

They are also looking for:

DM-28 - Dynamotor for BC-348 receiver (any letter suffix OK!)
FT-142A - Mounting Tray for BC-306A antenna coupler
FT-107 - Mounting Tray for PE-73C dynamotor
PL-59 - Connector (need 2)
PL-61 - Connector (need 2)
PL-64 - Connector
SA-13 - DPDT knife switch (antenna selector switch)
BC-461 - Trailing Antenna Control Box
RL-30B - Trailing Antenna Motor and Spool
F-10 - Antenna Fairlead
MC-163 - Trailing Antenna

If you have non-working vacuum tubes or any other components on the list
which you wish to _donate_ (all donations are tax-deductible), please
contact them at . Their contact info is:
