Default Anybody want Swan SWR-1A faceplate or internal workings?

Crossposted to rec.radio.amateur.homebrew, rec.radio.amateur.antenna, and
rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors

I wanted a dual-meter voltmeter to mount atop an LDG battery booster to
continuously indicate input and output voltages, so I rebuilt an old
SWAN Electronics SWR-1A meter and now have the faceplate and the internal
SWR sensor unit left over.

I'll mail (without charge in the USA) the faceplate to the first
person who wants to restore hizer scratched-up SWR-1A faceplate.

Although it weighs less than five ounces, the sensor unit is obviously a
bit bulkier (about 5" x 2" x 1.5") than the flat faceplate!-) It includes
two integrally-mounted SO-239 connectors, two diodes, two resistors, two
capacitors, the dual pot and its knob, and the really-sturdy sensor (but
NOT the two 100 microamp meters which I used in my project!-), all
connected as they were in the original unit. If someone wants it, it
should mail well and shouldn't take too much postage.
