Robert,
You asked about a top assembly recently. I have an excellent frame without top, and a NEW tan Electron Top still in the box. It has a black interior fabric.
I was going to change the top in my '91 from black to tan (have tan interior), but my wife decided she liked the black one better - and it is a very low mileage show car, so I've decided to keep it all original.
Let me know via PM if you have interest, and I can get pix of the frame, etc.

You sure are. There is noting in the world like the sound of a "Beast" taking off in full after burner. I wish I could hear it one more time, this time with a recorder. I am proud to have been involved with it operationally speaking. I will try to make a photo of the desk model and email it to you.

Hi Robert,
Dad has been gone for a few years now. He left McDonnell Douglas in the summer of 1965 to take a civil service job at Chanute AFB, IL. We had been stationed there until we left in '57 for McCord AFB, WA. He was a jet engine instructor at Chanute until his retirement in '73. We were always proud to have been involved with the F4. It was such an amazing machine-the genesis aircraft for todays' modern fighters. But, I'm preaching to the choir, aren't I. :-)

Thank you Robert. You are definitely a better instructor than me.
My Father was a final inspector for McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis in the mid sixties. Maybe you were involved with some off his line, eh?
