    VIC-1 Intercom question

    I have installed a VIC-1 Intercom system in my Gama Goat, (along with numerous other money consuming radio set-ups!). Anyway, I have cabled the VIC-1 as per the diagram found elsewhere, here on SS. With one minor possible variation. Here is my question.... can I "daisy-chain" the two C-2298...

    Unusual trailer?

    I was at the show in Idaho, and saw a rather strange M416 variant. It was an M416, (according to the data-tag,tub, fenders, etc). It also had a data tag on the front passenger side saying "AN/MRC-111" and had a schematic of a rather elaboarte radio setup of some sort. There were 1/2 inch holes...

    installation of GRC-160 radio set in my truck

    The connector on a CX-4720 that would usually be used on a MT `1029, is NOT the same as the one needed for the input for the MX7777. Upon close inspection, you will notice that the outer ring is longer, the center bolt is opposite, for the terminal needed for the MX7777. They look the same...

    installation of GRC-160 radio set in my truck

    One might consider an MX7777 surge protector. They're about $20, fairly easy to find, and worth every penny as far as insurance against blowing a radio. You'll then need two additional cables, whose numbers escape me right now, without walking outside and looking inside on of my rigs...

    M54 electrical problems.

    I have a plain-jane M54, about a 1968 or so. Multi-fuel, and up until today, on the way home from the Memorial Day Services, absolutely NO problems. I noticed on the way home that I didn't have any headlights, brake-lights, or turn signals. I am relatively certain I had the switch in the...

    Memorial Day Parade

    It is a little different in Caldwell Idaho. There is a rather large cemetary in the valley. The owners of the cemetary have, for the last 4 years or so, put together a Memorial Day service that includes bagpipes, guest local state dignitary speakers, a military fly-over, and our MV club. Last...

    Price of Gas in your area

    In a land (Idaho) where diesel has always been 30 cents MORE than regular (actually meaning un-leaded), Gas is now $3.22 and diesel is actually down to about $2.85! A real bargain. It's ultimatley OUR fault....we pay it. And as long as we pay for it, they'll keep raising it. That's what it...

    CG 107/U coax cable

    No, the CG-1773 is for when the antenna is within 5 feet (in regards to the cable you speak of) from the RT524, (or RT246 for that matter). When using the 50-odd feet tall mast antenna-the RC292, the book calls for the CG-107/U. There is actually also an adapter that goes in between the CG-107/U...

    CG 107/U coax cable

    I am needing one of those 68 foot long coax cables, with proper connecters ( I think one end needs an apadter) to connect my RC292 mast antenna to my RT524. Anyone have an extra one laying around? THANKS GUYS.

    Gama Goat Upate

    I have an extra insulated ambulance rear carrier cover(like new), that I would love to trade for a plain rear cover. I have set up mine as a communication model, and don't need this. If anyone has a regular one, vinyl I think, and wants to trade, I am going to Lodi for the show.

    Reflective Tape Question

    Speaking of reflective tape...I have about 3 or 5 rolls of Mil-Spec reflective tape, the stuff that looks kinda gray/silver during the day, but looks brilliant white when a light hits it at night. When I got it, I peeled a few inches off and it didn't feel very sticky....I put some on the rear...

    How much paint?

    If done properly, an M54A2C 5-ton without a hard top, done in three color camm takes about 83 spray cans...... parked in the back yard!

    Gama Goat taillights

    I do this every time. After I post something, I have to post again to clarify what I said the first time....age, the final frontier. Anyway, Most Goats had the old style tail-lights with the small rectangular glass lenses, about one half inch tall and a longer one with a shorter one above (or...

    Gama Goat taillights

    Uhhh, I thought just about all Gama-Goats had the full red lenses, sometimes referred to as "Nato" lights?They are about 4 inches around, with a diffused effect in the glass to spread out the light from the bulb. I looked at a bunch of pics and I can't remember seeing anything but the Nato...

    Radio setup ?

    The input for the MX-7778 is the same as an MT1029, so it believe the cx-4720 is the correct cable. I am currently wearing a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, it's about 18 degrees outside, and I'm not running outside to look.

    Radio setup ?

    I would do away with the cable between the batteries and the RT524 (actually the MT1029). I would strongly reccomend the MX-7778 Suppressor. I would have to get the book out for the part number for the cable between the batteries and the MX-7778.

    Outbid by $10,000

    With all due respect, it appears to be a real clean, straight truck. But it t does take 2 people to have a bidding process. I would be curious who the other bidder was to run the auction all the way up to where it ended up. If the bidding went $10,000 over what was thougt to be customary, then...

    Frozen landing gear steering

    I spent 25 years as a machinist in a local factory. We had to fix whatever the mechanics would bring in to us, such as pumps (from handheld size to driven in on the back of a duece and a half!) Anyway, over the years we encountered every imaginable problem, one common one being--something was...

    Questions about M103A3 trailer

    Just a W.A.G., but maybe for propane tanks, or very less probable--ordnance? It looks a little like the trolley set up on the old Burma Fords(GTB). The brackets on the front of the trailer don't ring any bells. I would be very curious as to what exactly those were for.

    Gama Goat new Home

    From one Goat owner to another, congrats!! After looking at those pictures, it seems that the Gama- Goat pretty well taxed the length and weight limits of the rig hauling it!!It sure is settled down, and with barely an inch to spare for length. Oh well, it got home. Now, make ready to be broke...
