Many have been made by different companies and they are better than the one Heathkit used. I must have 5-6 in my junk drawer. Of course they won't look original to the Heath one but will work just as well or better. Any of the surplus outlets should have one.<br>73 Jim<br><div><span><br></span></div><div> </div><div>James C.

If you can get any<br>acrylic pr Perspex rod of the correct outer diameter and know someone with<br>a small model makers lathe they are very easy to make. A small metal bush<br>tightly fitted over each end with a clearance hole for the grub screw would<br>significantly improve the strength.<br> <br>You may be able to
repair your broken one if you can get any acrylic glue. <br>That is easily available in the UK made by Revell but following an enquiry<br>of mine, the manufacturer's US distributor confirmed that they do not<br>import it into the States and our post office will not accept it in the<br>post. <br>Anyone visiting the UK may be able to take a 25g tube back with them in<br>their hold luggage?<br> <br>73<br><br>Bob<br><br>Bob F Burns G3OOU<br>C Eng, FIET, MSE<br>G-QRP 6907<br>Secretary of Crystal Palace Radio & Electronics Club: www.g3oou.co.uk<br>Technical web site: www.qsl.net/g3oou<br>@BobFBurns on Twitter: <a href="http://twitter.com/BobFBurns" target="_blank">http://twitter.com/BobFBurns </a> <br><br> <br>In a message dated 17/09/2013 23:31:08 GMT Standard Time, <a ymailto="mailto:ac1wye@gmail.com" href="mailto:ac1wye@gmail.com">ac1wye@gmail.com</a> <br>writes:<br><br> <br>Hi,
