I have one that is NOS - wow, this is a beautiful piece of work! They sure
built stuff tough then. I'm gnawing my nails about parting it out, but the
switches and ceramic parts will sure do well in some homebrew projects
around here.

If anyone wants some pictures, or knows of a BA web site that would use some
pics of this beautiful beast, please lemme know, eh?

Yep, love them big ceramic switches. But a lot of what seems like
overkill was necessary, as the antennas were not too well matched,
leading to high SWR's, voltages and currents, there was lots of
condensation wuith the temperature changes, and sparks fly easier at
high altitudes.

Isnt there a small neutralizing variable capacitor in there with like
half-inch spacing of the plates?
