Crappy photos but here they are. Quite a few years ago someone approached me about FAV's and I said I'd actually been in one and had some photos but ddn't know where. Well I found them. These few are all I have. Posting them here for the restorers to see.
Just kidding because I already know who is near Athens.
I will be coming east sometime in the next 90days. My kid made state and is now heading to US regionals in Athens!!!!
I think the military will have a drone pilot or EOD robot operator or something like that.
Taken in SinsheimDeutschland many moons ago before the fall of the wall.

It's time I post what is contained in the Common 1 as of the last version that came out 1 Sep 2010. This is the project I've worked on for many years now.
PLEASE DO NOT POST COMMENTS. I would like to keep the information together. This effort will take multiple posts and probably a month...
I took these photos during one of my site visits.
Shop light made with 2 lights, 2x4 wood, center pole for GP Small tent, rollers from a rolling chair. This one was DC and plugged to a battery. I'm sure similar setups with AC power can be envisioned.
I picked up this drill press. It's probably nothing special but it is milspec. The chuck shown was in the big box with it but not sure it's the correct one (it does fit on spindle).
Manufacturer is Maxwell Model DP815.
1. Looking for a manual
2. Appears a screw locks the chuck to the...
Folks will be driving from Corpus Christi back to central MD sometime around Dec 18th.
Trailer is an enclosed 6 x 12 footer. Route depends a lot on the weather but they will definitely go through Knoxville to Bristol and then up I-81 to eastern panhandle of WV/central MD.
If anyone wants...
I am meeting up with 98G tomorrow in OKC. He is currently loading at his place in Kansas.
If you have anything you want to buy from him, I am offering zero cost shipping to you or him. John's a great guy and doing him a solid since he's a real stand up, solid guy.
I am coming from OKC to...
I will be in OKC area with my 24' flat deck trailer for approximately 10 days starting on the 11th. I will depart o/a September 21st heading for Winchester, VA as fast as possible. I will have to download, reset, and be at work on the 25th in Harrisburg. I will only carry smalls on up to...
I'm going to Corpus twice. First return trip will be o/a 3 June +/- a day. Second trip will be later in the month and probably departing on the 23rd. I will consider going through Ft Hood if necessary and/but there is a very high potential I will go through Anniston. I might also be going to...
I have a wrecker vise and a small (less than footlocker size) box that I would like to get to Findlay. If anyone is heading that way from anywhere in the Baltimore, York, or Harrisburg vicinity, let me know. Trying to get this linked up with Shirehorse.
My understanding there are several versions of the DVE out there and for different types of vehicles. Anybody have any experience with these things? Electronically, how are they powered and the viewer to display connected? Cable numbers? Take whatever information folks can provide.
Never attended this show but considering it this year since it's only about 2 hours from me. Thinking of bringing a pickup load of stuff to sell but the tables are somewhat expensive @ $28 a table! What's the crowd like?
Wondering if anyone has any experience with these?
How hard would it be to obtain a hard drive (I think they're special dimensions or something) and upgrade the internals?
Are they easy to work on and if I take one apart, is there anything special I need to avoid / watch out for?
Any...
I have several of the standard loudspeaker LS454/U and want to know if anyone has either:
A. modified the plug to a USB
B. developed a military plug to USB adapter wire
C. made a Bluetooth adapter for it.
I've already seen the ammo can speaker for sale....not interested in that. Just...
As the title says. Leaving at 7am on the 19th of November. Will have an empty pickup truck heading south out of York, PA tomorrow heading for Galax VA. 98G is heading back west to Kansas.
IF someone needs something moved, PM me absolutely not later than 5 am on the 19th. I will check...
Maybe a central point of reference for what various cables are for:
First off: CX-45242/U 15 feet 3 prong small plug on one side and household power plug on other.
Second one: W6P1/1A17J4 also on cable W6P1/1A17J3 and 0N008079 MFR 50738 and W6P1/2J3 and W6P1/2J4
Want to buy the toolboxes from Piper Cub to link up with 98G or moved further east.
Will only buy these if I can get some cheap transport. Anyone coming east from CA that can link up with 98G in KS or OK or if you
re coming further east to OH or GA or just about anywhere east of the Mississippi.
