AB Linn has mirrors. Arms show up from time to time. Just this weekend there was a bunch of arms and mirrors at the Aberdeen show. Both mirrors and arms were used on several vehicles.

I was in the 46's and the 122 and 142 sets. I also have a working 142 on my M715.

I have a collection of Kleinschmidt TTY gear. Just lucky to have an original.

They were red in the Army. A warning to stay away as there is a burn hazzard if you are transmitting.

Yep, we have conversed. He was trying to sell the truck and shelter and last I heard a few months ago, had no luck.

A year long project to restore the S-144 shelter and all the equipment inside. The shelter was stripped of all equipment, repaired and painted. Everything inside was bench tested and repaired. New wiring to replace the rotted stuff and other items were scrounged from surplus sites. You can see...

Search for "murphy's Surplus" and look under US Comm Equipment. There is a mount for these radios that supplys power and allows mobil use.

We, the 129th, were attached to the 414th for TDY in 69 or 70 at Ft. Meade. I was also there in 68, and 71 but just for a few weeks. Those in the pictures were from the 129th Sig Bn. Were you at Meade? I think the 414th was in Germany sometime during those years also.

I remember the guys I was first with but not these names, just faces. I do remember the guy in the white T shirt got hurt. He was firing a M1919 .30 cal machine gun and had a stoppage. He forgot the rules "pull the charging handle" and opened the breech cover. A "cook off" round exploded in...

I am in the process of creating a web site for RATT RIGS, the slang used for Army Signal Corp Radio Teletype Shelters. I began digging through my pictures from my Signal Corp days and found these I took of shelters on the M-715. These are from the 414th Signal Company in about 1969 plus or minus...

Found it! After a bit of searching I found the connectors mate. No MS numbers or for that matter, any numbers but it fits. Now, to get it apart, clean it up, and attach new cables.

Shelters On Trailers Is putting a shelter on a 2 wheel trailer a good idea? I suppose if empty but stock RTTY shelters are awfully top heavy and a two wheel trailer may be unstable? All the later commo trailers in the military are 4 wheel, maybe for a reason. I know several people that have...

All the equipment in the shelter is original military so it's all 24 volt. And, no, while you can certainly run the 12 volt stuff on one battery, its not a good long term solution. You will shorten the battery life due to one battery underchanging and one overcharging.

Radio Club Visit I took the M-715 and the AN/GRC-142 "up the mountain" to the tower site for our QCWA picnic. We worked some 20 meter stations and received a bit of Canadian military RTTY, just for a demonstration. All on the 15 foot whip and truck power. I had enough fun getting up there...
