Both Loews and Home Depot have 'cool seal' type paints in the roofing section. It's a white elastometric paint that can expand as much as 350 percent to cover cracks, normally used on campers and mobile homes to seal up joints that are leaking. It does take as many as three coats to make a...

Jason, Are you coming to the GA Rally? Someone may just have a good replacement there.

Take the windows out and clean them up, then get some #8 stainless steel machine bolts about two inches long (might be shorter, but after you do one, you can adjust the length). Push the window back together as best you can then drill two holes for the #8 bolts to go through from the outside to...

Heard from a fellow that used to own a BC-325 about 20 years ago. He said: Two more things that I forgot to add last night. The trailer is powered by a PE-75 generator set. So could be operated while the vehicle was in motion. The transmitter is powered by a GN-42-(*) generator which is...

I found some stuff on the elusive BC-325 today. It's 3.5 ft wide, 2 ft thick (front to back), and six feet high, with a weight of 900 pounds! Operates on the 1.5 to 18 MHz band, 400 watts CW, 150 watts voice, range 1000 miles. Replaced by the SCR-299 transceiver BC-610, which had similar...

novaman, Give the naysayers a challenge. Run their generator and a similar sized MEP under full load 24/7 with the only shutdowns being for the required PM (100 hour oil and filter changes), for 3000 hours (125 days of running), or whichever one breaks down first! The MEP's are supposed to go...

For those who will be taking advantage of the firing range, please remember to bring eye and ear protection, and if you have them, empty chamber indicators. I can only find four empty chamber indicators to bring, but I will not be shooting so they will be available to borrow. We will have...

Polish Navy, perhaps, otherwise they are Military Historian/Reenactors.

Found a halfway decent writeup on the SCR-197, unfortunately the best link for better info was taken down for 'possible copyright infringement'. That BC-325 is a BIG box, but knowing what it looks like, I'm sure we can fab up something with all the knobs, dials, and switches to make a...

Buying local is better than paying for shipping, and it provides money that (mostly) stays in the local economy.

If you really want to know how family friendly it is, find the girl in the picture, post #59 of this thread > http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?104430-Va-Rally-at-Graves-Mountain-%28Labor-Day-Weekend%29-2013/page6 and ask her! She has been at the last four that I can recall!

Here's a Google Earth view of the shooting range:

I know someone who has a couple of rear axles that you can purchase. That way you can swap to your heart's content. Four hours away in Columbia, SC!

Ray, These tanks were on a wrecker and the owner gave them to our local club in exchange for other items. Then we found out the supplier had heartburn refilling them because of the way they were marked (U.S. Army, U.S. Govt.) and said they could not be exchanged, only refilled on a government...

There are people here on the site that can/.have make up all the stencils you will need, check the classifieds!

They need to be hydro tested every 10 years before they are filled. If these were in date, they would be filled and in use. We have other bottles that have been tested and we simply do an exchange when they are empty. And under that program we do NOT get the original bottles back, unless by...

Acetylene bottle is marked "US GOVT", both for $100, delivered to the GA Rally or you can pick up on one of your trips east, whichever is more convenient to you.

I will be bringing the GMRS radio box, like last year. At last count there were 16 radios in it (same setup we use at the GA Rally, and the club uses at St. Pat's in Five Points). Will also be bringing the first aid and trauma packs (better to have and not need than vice versa) and some...

Yes, the O2 is Army marked, the short acetylene bottle may not be. I'll check tonight about prices (our monthly business meeting).

Weren't you looking for some welding bottles? Maybe like these?
