Outstanding! Try PRC68 ,com they have battery adapter cables for the 25/77 series radios. For my GRR/5 I made a homebrew "A/B" Battery. The origional battery provided 1.5v for filaments and 90v for the screen. I use 8 D cells in parralell for thefilaments and 15-9volts in series paralell for the...

It has always amazed me the #of people who not only have time to mind thier own buisness but mine as well. I never seem to have enough time for my own.

It's a Putt-Putt! They were designed to run a variety of Mil rigs, GRR/5, GRC/9, VRC/19's etc. Keep it. When they run right they make a great addition for properly poering up a vintage mil rig. Great Find.

Began dismantling a 53 junker that Maddawg and hauled back from Coleman's abt 5 yrs ago. It's a non-winch model and is an ex-Pa. game commision vehicle, it lay in the back of thier lot for at least 15yrs and is pretty well shot. Surprisingly the engine ,tranny and transfer case are in verygood...

Used them for years camping, They are great. Keep one in the 37 as back up.

Ya did good. Glad to see he is still operating.

RE: Ham Radio Green radios certainly are fun. Some of the cautions about not for entry level shou'ld be heeded though. One of my favorite rigs is the PRC/47 HF set. Once modified for LSB (unfortunatly just about all 1960"s plus Mil rigs are USB. Not bad except it only covers 2-12 megs), but it...

KC4ALF here. It is a great adjunct to the hobby. If you love Mil radio learn the code. If it was made before the 60's AM/CW are the choices. Tune in the Military Radio collectors net at 0500hrs EST on Sat. Mornings. Freq. is 3880-85 +/- AM on 75meters. You'll here the whir of the dynamotor and...

This concerns the explosion in the turret of a mock up Tiger I at the indiana air show this past year. If you have access to Muzzle Blast magazine for feburary 2008, the article by Buddy Townsend is worth reading. The "Tiger" in question was in fact a T34/85 Mock up the same used in Saving...

RE: More Jealous Now Outstanding!

Will be there. Work permitting. Hey MD give me a shout. Got another Deuce sighting right in you'r line.

RE: Re: RE: Early Deuce Artillary Piece M101A1 105mm Howitzer. We were still using them in the Battery into the 1980's. I started out on the gun line before moving to FDC and as I recall the gun in our section was dated 1942. There are a # of these pieces (demilled) for sale overseas but are...

Finally got my 51 started today it has been driving me nuts for three months. I changed pionts, condenser, coil and even cleaned the entire plate with deoxit and nothing. I would get juice to the positive side of coil but nothing on neg side, when I disconnected the neg terminal from coil wou'ld...

Tnx Maddawg and all. I love to find out more things about these trucks. Mine are both early models a 51 and a 53.
