Another kudos to gimpy, he's always been a good guy to deal with and has helped me out several times. Wish there were more folks like him.

Looks like I'm out this time guys, work has reared it's ugly head and I can't take the weekend (or even one of the days) off. Have fun, I'll see you all next time around....

I concur that the "donor" pioneer trailer is probably best used for that, and not to be restored by itself. I see too much already gone or rusted too badly to make it a resto candidate, but it will do great donating some much-needed parts to the good one you have. Make sure whatever you...

Dudley was a great friend, I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with him at the rallies we attended together, he was the kind of guy who'd help you out no matter what you needed, and still acted as though he was in YOUR debt. A true credit to the hobby, wish there were 100 more like him. It's...

Dudley is a great man, great father, and one of the best Steel Soldier members I have ever been fortunate enough to meet. His two sons, I am truly privileged to call both of them my friends. I will be starting daily prayers for him until I hear he is fully recovered and out of the hospital.

I'll have plenty of room for whatever you need brought back.

Yep - no pallet burning at RC. Sorry, if you can bring other junk lumber with no nails in them that would be just fine.

For the first time in over 12 years of going to this event I'm actually going to have a couple tables there! [thumbzup] Looking forward to it! Going to bring: piles of NIB deuce geared lug nut wrenches piles of military radio gear/parts/accessories/antennas/cabling/etc. CUCV rear driver's...

If anyone going to the swap meet next weekend has an original Coleman lantern, military style, with the 4-piece glove, in very nice or excellent condition, I am looking to purchase one. Picture of the style is below.

Great job as always, big1096! It's amazing what you have done with her...

Gotta get the M1076 PLS trailer to go with it, and a couple large CONEX containers for both of them to carry - so you can have your own land train!

Very neat - but here's proof again that the Russkies borrow a lot of concepts and designs from other vehicles. Here's the TV1000 Rhino, developed by the Brits in the late 1950s as a concept MV. See any resemblance? Like perhaps a Gama Goat with the after-section removed?

Not the best pic, this was taken by a gent in the late 1970s with a 35mm camera, and scanned, so it's not the best. However it does show the basic contents of some of the rack. What I can see: Top left, fire extinguisher Top right, AN/GRR-5 receiver Middle left, RT-524 transceiver Middle...

Got the email from Jim G. about the upcoming event. Indoor parts swap meet-n-greet, first show of the year to get people out of their winter doldrums. Who's planning to be there?

I did just buy it in June, but medical problems in December and the resulting bills forced a sale that I reluctantly had to make.

I'm in as usual. Not sure exactly when I'll arrive leave, and not sure what I'll be driving since I had to sell the CUCV, I may just borrow a friend's deuce and take it up there for the day, or ride with someone else again. Will advise when things get closer.

Here's some more mil gear that was at the show - thankfully this time I carried my cellphone with me! pic 1: a rare, Collins-designed but made by Transworld/Datron PRC-1088, similar is function to the PRC-77 with 25 kHz spacing, 30-88 MHz, LCD display. A PRC unit that never really caught on...

Had a big fest yesterday in Richmond VA, called the Frostfest due to the time of year. Some military commo gear there, here's what I saved: - stack of manuals related to the TGC-14 series of teletypewriters, only $1 so it goes in the library just in case. :roll: - Navy sound-powered handset...

The Gonset Communicators are alive and well at the Richmond Frostfest, a large ham radio show, that I went to today. There were perhaps 6 of them for sale at the show, 4 of them at this one table. Note the yellow CD version top right, and three of the less-flashy grey models underneath...

This is going to be a good project to watch, subscribed!
