DX-60 Kit: Modern Equivalents

[LEON WENDLER]

we have a lot of EXACT sprague twist lock cans also
cde, mallory on our website. these are new old stock
with sprague part #'s listed. you may be lucky and see
one you need. we also have tons more here not listed
yet and a lot of black beauties from srague. also tons
of mallory replacement rotory switches. we even have
j.w. miller coils in boxes from 1950/60 like IF
(262khz, 10.7mhz 4.5mhz. a lot of the old 7000 series.
discrimiater coils. as i sort it it will get listed.
our ebay store lists about 30,000 allen bradly
resistors. in maybe 20 different values and more here
not listed as low as 10 cents each only. (link is on
main page of our website. radio tube sockes are here
also, orange drop cap's. we even have tons of exact
heathkit parts with heat part #'s I already listed a
few i think. need candy stripe cap's  as soon as i can
read color code i will list them. also 10/15 pounds of
molded mica caps with the dots. so the point is this
REBUILD OLD STUFF USING EXACT PARTS. keep those tubes
glowing with oridgenal parts. website is
