Shot in the dark but Mike Sallee at the Prairie Aviation Museum in Bloomington, IL is restoring a TH-55A helicopter for static display (at the museum)
He is looking for -
instrument panel
main rotors
tail rotors
tail rotor gear box
most of the bubble parts.
If anyone has any leads please give me a shout.

Drew

Drew,

The Aviation Technology Department of Purdue University has a fairly complete TH-55A. Not sure if there are any spare parts for sale or trade though.

I'd wager many, if not most, of the public community colleges /trade schools have parts of a TH-55 around.
Make some call in your area.

Likewise, check the aircraft salvage yards for Hughes 300 bits.
