I don't have a manual in front of me, but yes, 406-420 receivers, they'll
work fine well into the mid 430's without mods.

Well, Spantek comes to mind as a dealer. CW Wolfe used to get a lot of
stuff out of Canada, but I haven't talked to Bud in quite a few years, not
sure if he's still in business. This list is probably the best resource.
eBay as an alternative. If you get desperate I still have a few dozen
low-split Micors in the warehouse, but really don't have the time (or
patience) to deal with packing and shipping radios for what few dollars I'd
get out of them (i.e. value of my time > $value of radio). But if you just
wanted a receiver, you can consider me a last resort if you strike out
everywhere else...
