I know that I can buy crystals from the "usual suspects".
I was hoping someone had them lying around.

The air variable cap needs to come from a 2B. It's not
an off-the-shelf type of part, plus it has a built-in
vernier drive and the right shaft diameters, so I can't
use a generic part. Having one custom-built would cost
more than the radio is worth.

So... the search goes on...

Anyone parting out a Drake 2B receiver?

I need the following parts:

(1) "Preselector" air variable capacitor assembly
(2) crystal for 28.0 - 28.5 MHz (10m CW)
(3) crystal for 10.0 - 10.5 MHz (30m)

I suspect that 2A parts will also work.
I know that 4-Line parts will not work.

Well the crystals can be obtained from the normal crystal makers.

For the air variable - I would try Oren Elliott Products (largest mfg in

US) - who supplied air variable capacitors for many manufacturers (Heath
,
Collins, etc.)
