I am looking for some 502 johnny ball insulators to use in re-guying a tower. 
The old insulators are the little type 500Ds, which have lasted 33 years but 
don't have the proper contour to correctly seat Big Grips, plus I prefer to use 
proper insulators for the purpose this time. Some of the guys were re-done 
several years ago using the proper insulators, and don't need to be replaced 
again.

The problem is that everyone nowadays, from commercial suppliers to hamfest 
vendors, seems to to have only the blue-grey ones, and it looks tacky to 
intermix the two on the same tower, so I am trying to find some brown glaze, 
size 502s, with the white circle on the bottom end, to match the ones already 
on the tower that will not be replaced. I haven't yet counted the exact number 
I need, but would estimate about 50. Used ones would be OK, as long as they are 
not cracked or chipped.

Just wondering if anyone has some extra ones lying around, or knows where there 
might be some.

I am not interested in using Phillystran.


Regards,

Don k4kyv
