Did that ever happen? When I was in Buenos Aires I bought a turn coordinator in a flee market. The man who sold it to me claimed it came from a DC6 that crashed somewhere in Argentina. I am curious if this is BS. I decided to get it as a souvineer and paid 30 bux for it or about 100 pesos.Ye you can go ahead and laugh at me and tell me how I got ripped off. I dont know what I was thinking lol. There is a part number on it. Is there anyway the number can be used to trace where it came from?

It's certainly possible. There have been at least 3 DC-6 crashes in Argentina. The poart number is pretty much useless. THe best you could hope for is determinig that the type of TC could have been installed in a DC-6. Even if you had a serial number, you'd have to have access to the Mx records of the airline of the crashed plane to get a match.
