[amsat-bb] Hughes 1502938-0001 & 1500439-0113 Jupiter Radio Surplus

[Gregory Beat]

I have noted Hughes Jupiter Radio surplus (NOS pkg), in large numbers,
appearing from telecom/surplus dealers (and popping up on eBay, etc.). 
Hughes: 1502938-0001 & 1500439-0113
Some of these assemblies are selling as low as $15.00 (shipping, due to size/weight, costs more).

Has anyone de-constructed or experimented with these Hughes units?
I can’t cast an aluminum enclosure fir that price.
Sadly, no current western hemisphere AMSAT satellite to adopt these for.
