VIC-1 plastic caps...

[riderdan]

So I've got my VIC-1 system up and running and installed in the HMMWV. The only thing I'm missing are two of the plastic "caps" that close off the unused cable connectors on the AM 1780.

Here are some of the more recent version:



though I'd prefer the older, screw-in type.

Does anyone know what these are officially called (my Googling was unsuccessful) and/or a source for them?

I wonder if Recodefense would have them as they are a refurbisher of such units.

G'day everyone,.....



When was the Vic-1 system used?


From what year until what year they were replaced/ upgraded?

Thanks.



Aussie.

The AN/VIC-1 intercom systems came into use at the same time the VRC-12 family of radios was introduced, vintage mid-1960s. They are still in use today but are being replaced with the VIC-3, VIC-5, ROVIS, and DVIS systems in today's vehicles.

Well for press-fit:

NSN 5340-00-933-3752
Mfg # CAPlugs B-714
10mm deep, 27mm diameter OD

They also make the threaded ones judging by their catalog.

If you did not find them PM me an address and I will mail you two (plastic push on).

G'day everyone,....



Dose anyone know how the Vic-1 was setup in the Deuce?

(I'm assuming there was a specific way)

Anyone got pics of their set-ups?

There is a series of manuals that are primarily for the VRC-12 family of radios but part of the manuals discuss installation of the VIC-1s in various vehicles. That series of manuals is the TM 11 5820-401-20 series. If you search around online they are all available through places like Radionerds or PRC68.com and I'm sure you'll find either the exact information you need or enough to get you through the installation.

Try searching with suffixes on the TM number like this: TM 11 5820-401-20-2. I know in the SINCGARS series of manuals that extra dash number takes you to installation manuals for almost every vehicle you could imagine.

Yes, Reco Defense did have some as of two months ago. Good recommendation.
