[TowerTalk] R 7 help

[AA4NC@aol.com]

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.
