Wanted: NON FUNCTIONAL VT-4-C and VT-25 vacuum tubes, other gear for B-17 setup

[Juan Jimenez[_1_]]

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:

505 NW 38TH ST. Hangar 33 South

That kind of defeats the purpose of displaying military radios,
doesn't it? There are plenty of the original tubes around, and a lot of
people mount a dead tube on a piece of Walnut to use as a paperweight,
or they display the old tubes in large shadowboxes.

The military tubes often had different base configurations and
filament voltages than their civilian counterparts. For example, the
1625 is an 807 with a 12-V filament instead of a 6.3-V filament and a
different pin-out.

Thing is, the Victor-Tare numbers above are not what was printed on
the tubes. Here's a cross-reference to the JAN numbers:

Look them up on Google or eBay, no need for "civilian numbers".

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!!

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