Oviedo here. Was in Deland today and went through Lk Mary & Sanford TWICE before noon! Hint! Rayzer eats in the Sonny's in Sanford ALMOST every night of the week. You can sneak up on him there! There is or used to be a member named Jeremy with a Deuce & 1/2 that lived off of 427 in LM...
Fla AKM,
Welcome from Orlando. You ARE coming to the show at Reinger's in Mount Dora this weekend aren't you???? Three will be a fair number of us there and and it'll be good to meet you in person.
Was at the Deland flea market today and talked to one of the vendors of military items there and he said that he'd be there and that there's usually a LOT of vendors of military items at Reingers show.
But chance of rain is 40% :-/
Bought like new BC-604 Transmitter and a BC-683...
In for results of your tests. BUT I just watched your video and I think you have a severe misunderstanding of the chemistry of LA batteries. For one thing those crystals (white powder) that you show in your photos above are not sulphur, they're most likely Lead Sulphate. Sulphur is yellow and...
That's all fine and dandy (assuming it works) but what about shorted cells? How do you plan on dealing with those?
Does your resistance tests of the electrolyte tell you anything that a standard battery hydrometer doesn't? Hydrometer test battery condition by measuring the density of the...
Mark,
I'm pretty sure that I have the top section (1095/VRS) of the As-1729 antenna if you're interested. I THINK I also have a MX-6707 base. I'm still looking for antennas and parts for my ART-13 and ACR-27 radios so if you have anything I'd be interested in swapping. I'm also looking for...
PC,
I'm thinking of driving over to the show. How many vendors and how many people are they expecting? I'm looking for M38A1 jeep parts and WW II/Korea vintage radio gear. Anything like that ever turn up at his show?
MOST model airplane fuel is only about 3 to 5% NitroMethane (I've had it analyzed) and 15 to 20% Castor oil and about 65% alcohol. The rest was dryers, stablilizers, etc. Cox 40-40 was 40% NitroMethane and 40% Castor oil and 20% alcohol. That's the highest NM content that I've ever heard of...
They also forecast that there would be no rain this week. But they missed again! It's rained everyday so far. But not enough to be a problem.
FYI found an extra pair of 4T snatch blocks. I'm throwing them in the goody pile to take to Belleview.
I need a passenger seat, top bows and canvas for an M38A1. If anyone that's coming to the show has any please PM me. I will be bringing some NICE M38/A1 wheels and tires to sell.
Nope, Somebody that I won't name promised to make drawings but they haven't appeared yet. I'm looking for drawings too. Let me know if you ever get any and I'll do the same for you.
Are you coming to the MVPA rally in Belleville this coming weekend? I've got some NICE M38/A1 wheels and...
Are you picking up stuff at Eglin that you can peddle here or is that the Deuce covers? Don't have a deuce, :-( so don't know how much demand there is for covers but I'm sure that there's some. Swap meet at this show is usually very active!
Anyway, come on down! We'll be happy to meet you!
I live in Orlando and take my word for it, this is MUCH better! OHF got so sorry that the last three years that I went I didn't buy anything. Everybody is selling their good stuff on E-Greed and other on-line sites and only bring their trash to the hamfests any more. I quit going to OHF even...
Mike,
Bring the MKT and cook! :beer:
Lindsay,
I'll be there. Bringing some excess Jeep wheels and NDT tires and what ever else I can find that's laying around and in the way. I hope to make the trail ride but don't know yet.
Looking for radios and related items for my USMC...
