Welcome to the addiction, from Virginia. Alaska is a great place to enjoy the hobby, you'll just pay a lot for shipping for all the stuff you'll buy. :)
Now for the things I DID save!
Pics 1-2: AN/URR-27 fixed frequency receiver. Receives 105-190 MHz AM, must use a single crystal set to the freq. you would like to listen to. Complete, all there, but seller never used it himself so it's a gamble. Cost was $20, so I'll play with it and see...
Well another February, another Frostfest! Back to Richmond VA to see about saving some military radio gear!
FIRST - the gear I saw there but did not buy:
Pic 1: Another Collins-made R-390, circa 1951, 500 KHz to 32 MHz. I have spoken at length about them previously, so I won't bore you all...
This manual is the official instruction sheet for the Ken-Tool manufactured geared lug nut wrenches, used to remove the rear dual Budd-style lug nuts from the M35 series deuces, the M211 series deuces, and the M54/M809/early M939 series 5-ton trucks.
Is anyone from the No.VA/MD/So.PA area going down to the GA rally later in October? I have 4-6 geared lug nut wrenches that may need a ride down there, seeing if someone could spare a little room. Meeting around the I-81/I-66 intersection, or thereabouts.

Anyone painted their military truck with a roller? What...
Van is packed and ready to go once I get off work tomorrow afternoon. Arriving late Thursday evening, be there till the show's over! Can't wait to see everyone again!
Syndi and I only had a chance to stop in and attend the rally on Saturday, the one day that was probably on and off drizzling the whole day. Went on a couple trail rides with Kevin and his CJ-8, slipped and slid around on the trails until the crew decided to quit for the day for safety reasons...
I will be bringing the last of my geared lug nut wrench sets, I have only about 9-10 sets left.
I also will have ammo cans, wood crates, radio odds and ends, some misc. radio/antenna/KY-57 cables, and lots of misc. surplus items. Stop by my spot, NE side against the fence where I normally...
Me and my daughter will be there again just for Saturday, thumbing a ride as usual - as I posted in another thread, I'm once again in the market for a CUCV, but not there yet.
Always looking forward to the usual suspects! And Cabell's BBQ!
