Byron,

Seems it would be the normal issue of depot taking a tag off, working on 
the radio, then just putting the nearest tag at hand on it.

Why not just go for a Collins tag?

I do not need fully restored modules but nice working ones that may need just a little polishing up. I will leave the tubes, crystals, plug in crystal heater and 3TF7 in these modules if we do the trade.
