AF4K Crystals looking for FT-243 and HC-6 crystals for rebuilding
|
?
I am reminded that my stock of FT-243 and HC-6/U crystals on oddball frequencies is dwindling again.? Here at AF4K Crystals, I use them for rebuilding onto useful frequencies.
?
Does anyone have a stockpile of such vintage crystals?? They look like this:
?
FT-243 -?? May have a bakelite or metal front cover.
?
HC-6/U?????????? Can only use the ones with a soldered seam.?
?
Both have pins spaced about 1/2 inch (0.486") ?
Let me know what you have and we can discuss how I can get them here for? reuse by current operators.? Reuse is the best form of recycling, right?
?
Thank you.
