    Data plates for a M36a1

    Talk to member 'swiss', I think he had some at the GA rally last year.

    Request M35A2 Retrieval info

    Group 31 batteries. Around here blems in that size cost less than $60 each and they fit in the battery tray of most full sized pickup trucks, so they could have a use after you try to start a deuce.

    Head Studs Breaking on L134

    Sorry, the anti-seize is your problem! The actual torque at the threads is 15-50 percent higher than a dry reading. Pick up a copy of the Pocket Ref - ISBN 978-1-885071-62-0, go to the Fasteners section (about page 213), and check out the section 5 - Effect of Anti-Sieze Compounds, Lubricants...

    saving military communications gear at hamfests

    Three crowns is most likely Sweden (two above, one below), so look at their stuff in Jane's to see what you can find. Sometimes it helps to be a stamp collector.

    Commercial Pick Up

    Depends on your state ID, some bases are enforcing 'REAL-ID' a bit more assertively and if your state is not compliant (or you have not had one of the new Id's from them), you get turned away. If you have a US passport, they will ignore the non-compliant state id and use the passport. And some...

    HF Radios for HMMWV

    Military radios were meant to be used in relatively short range applications (from .25 mile up to about 50 miles) since the frequencies had to be shared with many other units. Operators really only wanted to hear the closest (strongest signals) transmitters because that is who they needed to...

    KE5AFU's M36A2 Camper/RV Build

    Your shelter is longer than a 280, and has a bigger door. What I did was to leave a space in front of the 280 that I can put fuel cans into and (because it's shorter than your box) still have almost 40 inches of deck behind the shelter.

    Jobsite Assault Vehicle

    LED's use a lot less amps than conventional bulbs, generally 1/10 or less than the conventional bulb for the same lumen level. So, use the formula Watts = amps times volts. If you have a 25 watt conventional bulb in a 24 volt system, it is drawing a little over one amp. A LED replacement bulb...

    Rejuventate a carge cover

    If it's one of the vinyl covers and has gotten stiff, it will have to be replaced! Ideal storage of the covers is cool, dry and dark. Only install them when they are being used to cover cargo or people.

    Graves Mountain Rally, Syria VA August 31-September 4, 2017

    I've got it marked on the calendar. Now I need to find the box with the Range supplies and set it aside where I can find it when packing.

    Radio for my M35

    The inline fuse sounds about right to limit the power going to the radio - it's 5 amps up to 32 volts, so either more amps OR more volts will cause it to blow, protecting the equipment after it. Unless you are going to have a separate battery just for the radio you will need to be very careful...

    2017 Dayton Hamvention

    Ray's Saturday Report: Saturday arrived on site around a quarter of seven. No rain this morning but there was storms last night. The road and walkways at the event were muddy but passable. Set up my table and attempted to pedal my wares. Unlike yesterday I did not sell any items today...

    2017 Dayton Hamvention

    Post from another forum I 'participate' in (lots of WWII Military radio stuff): Today was the first day of the Dayton Hamvention in its new location, Xenia Ohio around twenty miles east of I-675 between Fairborn and Springfield. The new venue is the infield of a horse track, somewhat smaller...

    Are you looking for the DEUCE Doctor? Correct spelling means a lot, otherwise you might wind up with the doctor who worked on Mussolini.

    Words mean things. Or, Nomenclature for beginners.

    The problem was not so much with the equipment as with the user I-d-ten-t. In other words - the problem exists between the keyboard and the chair, unless he was standing and using a tablet!
