I had a similar experience with Cushcraft recently while trying to get a balun
for a 40 meter beam. I say we vote with our checkbooks and let Cushcraft know
what they can do with their policy of not selling parts to hams...

Hello ....
I have an old R7 that I take on trips and things of that nature. I noticed
a couple month back,
something was rattling in the matching network box. Turns out that the
matching network CAPS
had broken off and we just rattling on the inside.
Anyhow, I sent Cushcraft and e-mail to see if I could order the parts from
them. It turns
out that Cushcraft dosen't sell the parts nor would tell me what the values
are so I can replace them.
Though they did mentioned I could order a new networking box for $170.00
though.
Was hoping someone out there had the values.
You can sure tell the difference between Cushcraft and KLM. The last time
I chatted with
KLM, they bent over backwards to help me out.
