| Scott Farrow Pontiac, MI | Does anyone have any info and/or interest in an original, unused (still has hang tag) Douglas C-54B Electric Loading Computer - U.S. Army Air Force - made by Aircomp Limited, Burbank California? Piece has been laying around for a while - one knob broken off - glass meter faces have fallen-in, but meters appear to be intact. 04/23/2004 @ 01:57 [ref: 7271] |
