Hey Hotshot, just for my future reference, approximately what would hauling an M923 from Ft.Meade to RI 02817 cost? No rush, I'm just trying to get an idea on shipping, I hope to buy one in the upcoming months. Thanks!

The PN's that Nonotagain listed are all correct, but I read somewhere that some have wrong size gaskets ( as you found ) and I think the Napa/WIX oil filters need the tabs in the center of the filter bent in to clear the center tube. I know many folks dislike Fram, but they were the OEM filter...

What happened to Rapracing's comment saying he left the battery in place for a while then smelled something burning and found 4 of the A4 diodes had burned up? I saw the comment then the SS site went off line for a while, now that post is gone :confused: Can you confirm your bridge rectifier is...

Try taking a look at the resolution to a similar problem I had recently. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?111171-MEP-002A-are-all-Control-cubicles-interchangeable I was getting no power unless I continuously manually flashed the field, But the generator acted differently when I...

Problem solved!:beer: the replacement CVT has fixed the problem. So, to recap, the machine with a Libby AC box would not put out power unless I hold the start switch indefinitely, but it would work normally with a JR.H AC box. The CVT had an open in the windings at H5-H6. Replacing the CVT has...

Well, back to fixing this -002A... After a couple failed attempts to score a parts machine at a reasonable price from GL, Craig A Tull hooked me up with a replacement CVT. I got it installed in my AC connection box today. It wasn't too bad to swap out, the hardest part is the heavy wire going to...

Hey Jerry, Thanks for the comment... I'll try to have a good time if the kids behave! Anyway, 6 Caswell kits, **** your wallet must have suffered a coronary after that! I got a "double" kit, guess it was a quart, on ebay. It was a left over someone bought and didn't use. anyway I would estimate...

N1oty, in regards to your question about running a pair of -002A's in parallel, I saw Sewerzuk's video and I plan to do the same thing. I think a single -002A will cover most of my needs, but I know for sure it will not start my air compressor and if we loose power in the dead of summer it won't...

Hi Jerry, I had the same problem with the tanks on both of the first MEP-002A's I got a few months ago. I used some metal etching acid and a bunch or screws, bolts and misc. hardware, sloshed it all around to clean the inside of the rusty tanks. Then I power washed them. They came out...

Hi Jason, Out of curiosity, do you remember what portion of your CTV1 was open? I have a MEP-002A that is not putting out any power unless I continuously hold the start switch and manually flash the field. as soon as I release the switch, power goes out. I found H5-H6 on the CVT1 to be open (...

Hello Craig, I recently posted a thread about a strange problem I was having that I thought was a control cubicle problem. But, it turns out I think its a bad CVT1 transformer winding. I see you had good luck switching to a Flight Systems SX460 and wanted to ask you a couple questions, if I may...

Well, no time to work on it this weekend, but I brought it (the AC box) to work with me this morning and I think I see the problem... Bridge rectifier checked out fine. 1.86M on each diode in 1 direction and opecircuit in the other direction. 55 ohms on the resistor. BUT... the CVT1 readsings...

Jim, thank you for your help. The info you provided along with info in the thread ( which I just noticed ) about the nice regulators you make... Plus the schematics and test procedures I printed out of the TM should get me started on a more detailed analysis of the problem. Al I need now if a...

That's what I figured, I wouldn't expect any operational differences between the two. Now that I try to retrace my steps I think originally I did put the JR.H VR into the questionable generator's Libby cubicle and it did not work. It just seems very strange that the JR.H cubicle as a whole works...

So last night I did a little more testing and found that when I swap the cubicles back to their original generators, the Libby unit once again will not produce power unless you hold the start switch indefinitely. Next I tried another known good Libby control cube on the suspect Libby generator...

Hello everyone, I'm brand new to posting here, although I've been reading articles and learning a lot for a few months. So cut me some slack if I mess anything up due to my inexperience! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of any interchangeability problems between Libby Corp. and J.R...
