Hi, Tony...

 DS>   You likely can't find those anymore...the same with crystals. I saw
 DS> where that International Crystal Manufacturing (ICM) company in the
 DS> Oklahoma City, Oklahoma area, was going out of business in May. They
 DS> were apparently one of the last places hams could get crystals.

 V@> I believe there's still one major crystal manufacturer here, at least
 V@> last I heard they were going strong, and you could still custom order
 V@> crystals for older gear.

  Interesting. It's amazing how many "boat anchor" and "tube type" old rigs
you still run into at hamfests.

 V@> As for record stylii, I'm sure they are obtainable, as LPs have made a
 V@> mini comeback and there's newer turntables (complete with USB and
 V@> Bluetooth!) on the market.

  Very Interesting (I'm starting to sound like Arte Johnson from Rowan And
Martin's "Laugh In"...that shows my age <G>). I did see a deal in one of
the catalogs recently about a turntable. I have a bunch of old LP's at my
Mom's place.
