Hi Wayne,
I haven't had many problems with Cushcraft. I bought my cushcraft xm-240
used and knew it had a blown inductor in the reflector.
I called them told them I had purchased it used and the part I needed. I
had it in hand 3 days later. Today was Columbus Day. Some banks here are
open, some are not, Virginia beach public works worked today, Chesapeake
did not.
Give em a try tomorrow, its possible they were closed for Columbus day.

p.s.
You are gonna love that XM-240, I too used the K7LXC dimensions
