AF4K Crystals needs old FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals for rebuilding


 


AF4K Crystals needs old FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals for rebuilding

Thank you to everyone who has supported the new AF4K Crystals.? I really enjoying supplying FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals to vintage and homebrew enthusiasts.? It is especially fun to help people new to the world of vintage technology.??
?
One problem:? I am concerned that I am going to soon run out of old crystals on oddball frequencies that I can rebuild onto useful frequencies.

If you have some old FT-243 or HC-6/U crystals that you can spare, please consider my need.?? If you don't have a plan to use those crystals, let me use them to equip those who need crystals in vintage holders. ?

If you are going to be at the Dayton/Xenia Hamvention in a week or so, bring your crystals along.? I'll be in fleamarket space 9001, right under the tree next to the grandstand.

Otherwise ship them to Steve Johnston, 2309 Tulare St, Fitchburg WI 53711.? I'll be glad to reimburse you for shipping.

Think of it as "crystal recycling".? The best kind of recycling is repair and re-use, after all!
