I'd go with Boston Gear, they were big already in the 1960's. had everything we needed to make a microwave frequency measuring cavity tool for intercity tv microwave stuff we were building at Tepco in RCSD. Sweet stuff, and at the accuracy level we needed, competitively priced. The CE at KOTA-TV, Elmer Nelson also owned Tepco, and he designed and built all the microwave gear to get 2 of the networks from Denver, KLZ on Lookout Mountain to Skyline Drive and KOTA-TV in RCSD, and built the microwave stuff to get the network to KIVA-TV from a 1/4 watt splitter off the WTC site at Water Dog on the North edge of the Umcompagre plateau to the south edge and 2 more hops to North Mountain to the national park near Marcos Co and on into KIVA-TV south of Farmington NM a couple miles. Rock solid dependable stuff considering it was built when vacuum tubes were king. Nearly all the people on the western slope got their tv thru gear Elmer designed and built. > > On Dec 17, 2020, at 2:29 PM, jrmitchellj <jrmitche...@gmail.com> > > wrote: > > > > Are you bent on making them yourself, or would you consider > > purchasing? > > > > Check out Boston gear (bostongear,com) or Martin gear > > (martinsprocket.com) as purchase option/ > > > > --J.
