[Milsurplus] [MRCA] T-17 Mic Part Needed

[Clare Owens]

Hey Mark,

I would be happy to send you three T17s that I have had for many years in
the hope that I could someday assemble a working command set station in
basically original condition.  I replaced the mic in one with an N1 mic,
one seems to have possibly decent audio and one seems to have low audio all
based on primitive testing.  I have had to give up on the idea of a working
classic station since I am now legally blind.

And me your shipping info and I will box them up, all free.  I only have
access to shipping on Mondays so they will not go out until this coming
Monday.

73,

Clare. N2RJB
