The Ge shop told me that he has some test connectors, for alignment purposes, and I would have to use a different type of battery. Since the battery case was modified, I may be able to fit a sealed lead acid in the overblown case. Interestingly, the Motorola tech just dropped by looking for connectors, and I mentioned the crystals to him, he makes regular orders of crystals and is interested in obtaining the "rocks" for me. So far all is going well. Any yes, it is a historic piece of equipment, people whom recognise the low band radios have stories to tell about firefighters preferring the long range of "heavy" radios.
