Cool project! I don't need any currently, but thank you for the offer. I am swamped with sorting the more recent auction junk and parts, trying to clean up the shed so I can safely use the lathe and milling machine. Stacked up the 6 or 7 pieces of old test gear recently acquired that use nixie for the displays. Big old Sangamo mica transmitter caps, huge HV high power resistors and rectifiers, RCA SCRs, all kinds of fun things!
