old Raytheon radomes?

Not quite the worst case scenario, but...When I lifted the tarp last week, I discovered that the snowload acutually crushed the frame of my boat cover, which in turn did a number on my 18" Raytheon radome cover (for an R10). I have only small cracks on the top, but the bottom even had a piece fall out. I've epoxied it back together, and will fiberglass it if I need to, but I'd prefer to find a used unit from a defunct set. Any leads out there? No luck locally. I have an email in to Raymarine but expect the price to be high, if it's available at all. I have to think that there are tons of thse units in the electronics graveyard somewhere.

Many thanks.
Tom

Tom-

You might try ebay. There are a lot of outfits that make their living parting out old boats that do business there. There's even a new "Wanted" section where you can list what you need. Also try to put the description in Google and search through the hits. Joe.

Check out your insurance policy. It may be covered......

Thanks, Joe and Chris. I have combed e-bay a couple of times so far, but didn't know about the "wanted" section. And I hadn't even thought of the insurance angle.
Best,
Tom
