Re: Wanted FT243 xtal cases.
I have five FT241-A holders which I believe are pin compatible with the FT243.
Two pins 1/2" apart. External dimensions 26mm high. 22mm wide. 10mm deep. Like the one shown in this eBay listing which I'll stress IS NOT MY LISTING. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256196566266

Re: Wanted FT243 xtal cases.
Hi Mick , Looks like Ed can supply your needs , but if it's urgent I may be able to help . The photo shows some "dead" ones , plus a few new stainless screws (not Phillips head) and nuts -- been in an old tobacco tin for about 50 years ! Note that screwheads would need careful drilling-out , being very rusty !
Forgive my ignorance , but what is a "paraset" ? Laurie . |

Re: Wanted FT243 xtal cases.
It's some small comfort now to realise that I wasn't totally ignorant ! I'd only known these sets as the "Mk. VIIs" , And my remaining grey-cells didn't respond to "paraset" . They might have done so if the p had been in upper-case , I suppose !
Thanks again for the link , very interesting . Laurie . |

Re: Wanted FT243 xtal cases.
The remark wasn't specifically directed at you. We see far too many "Wanted" posts dragged off topic with the OP left wondering what happened to their original request. For that reason the mods frequently post "Stay On Topic" (SOT) requests
You're welcome to discuss Parasets in The Vintage Amateur and Military Radio section.
