I will be bringing a M416 trailer to sell at the show. It is in nice shape with new paint, new shocks, and new wiring, with a flat-4 trailer connector. Body has been replaced with flat deck and wood sides instead of the rusted-out steel tub it had. Tires are VG. Will be located in my usual...

You're a better man than I, John. Someone stole my jeep, I'd track them to the ends of the Earth. Vengeance is mine, sayeth my 12-gauge.

I guess you have a point. You can either have no dollars and a lot of sense, or a high credit limit and no sense. I guess I've spent too much time among those who are the former. :)

Ditto. It's one thing if you bring some tools, fluids and stuff "just in case" and you break down because of something you DIDN'T BRING vs. Not bringing anything at all, crossing your fingers, and hoping for the best. In a 1,300 mile trip, something is going to happen. Hope he makes it...

I say get the video cleaned up - move this along as best you can, get them to take the prints they can, see where it takes you and the cops. Whether the jeep is home or not, the guilty should be found and punished, or they will do it again. My guess is they only returned it to you (in a sense)...

Thanks!

Get one from this guy - sells them for $45 plus shipping in tested working condition: MX6707 Antenna Base For Sale

Stupid question, but does anyone make rear LED brake light housings for the CUCV? I did a search on SS and online and the only ones I found for Blazers start at year 1989 or so.

Uh....chances are you'll die. Most radio equipment through the 1960s contained LETHAL voltages when the unit was in operation. Today's ham radio equipment, you might get a good shock in you are touching the wrong thing, maybe enough to really hurt. The older stuff - hundreds of ham operators...

If you notice, there was a "winky" smiley after my comment, meaning my comment was lighthearted. As in "why are we all here if we don't like old stuff?" Try decaf. Please.

It's vintage radio, sure modern electronics are better and have a lot of less expensive, smaller parts. But some people just like older things. If you don't...why do you happen to be on this website? ;)

+1, the MX-2799 was the original one to that series, but it was quickly replaced by the 6707, can't remember the reason but it was discussed previously. HOWEVER, finding a 2799 is sometimes difficult, when I bought one for my GT project two years back, they were 2x as much as the 6707s, and...

No. The AS-3900 is for the SINCGARS radio sets. The correct antenna base for the RT-524/246 radio sets would be the MX-6707. They are always on eBay....

Did they get the bastards that took it? Or did they just find it on the side of the road somewhere?

Be awesome to see you and your new buggy, not sure if it will be done prior to rally, though.

A vibrator unit in vintage radio, is essentially a voltage converter, in order to make the voltages needed to operate specific parts that would not run on the provided voltage types. In this case, it converts 12 VDC into 115 VAC. Vibrator power supplies were common in the early days of radio...

Welcome to the disease. We have our own embroidered straightjackets for when your collection of MVs grows.

Great work on that resto, pvtjorge! Way to save the green iron!

I saved a picture for you, Chair Force. Reminded me of you. :)
