You should be able to play them on a flatbed scanner and get
excellent images. I have a couple FT-243, but I think they are all mil
surplus. I'll try to get to them and see what i have. I know i have a
few N.O.S Bliley crystals, but I don't know what cases they are without
opening the crumbling paper boxes. Would you like scans of the boxes,
too?


Just need some "ham market" labels to stick on my xtals.

Tnx,

Texas Crystals, Crystek, Jan, and others often reworked WWII
military surplus FT-243 crystals to customer specs. They either
replaced the original front plate with a new one--with their
company named embossed, or they simply used a stick on
label to cover the original faceplate marketings. The bakelite
housings still have the tell tale military channel numbers
embossed on them, however--a dead giveaway regarding
their original.. I post my examples on the binaries, and email
cc to Bill.

Ok, here's a couple of repros...

Here's one more. This one wasn't actually a stick-on label...but it can
be now!
