    Antartica Surplus Auction So Cal

    If you call the auctioneer they'll usually tell you who bought it and how much they paid. At least they will at the auctions that I've been to at KSC.

    Deuce light switch overheat?

    When you install the new unit, measure it's current consumption and then install a fuse inline with it that has a slightly higher rating in order to protect the main light switch and the rest of the electrical system.

    Going rate for m37's in your area?

    ASKING $1000 in this area for a rusted out hulk that hasn't run in YEARS. I've seen several for this price but don't think any of them ever sold.

    Geneva FL: July 4th Parade 9AM on Thursday 7/4

    Don't need Redbull, 6 or 8 cups a day of coffee works for me. It is by coffee alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the brown beans that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains, stains become a warning, It is by coffee alone that I set my mind in motion...…

    Deuce light switch overheat?

    Be careful with your troubleshooting. Most of the circuit breakers used in switches aren't made to handle repeated overloads and you'll find that the reset time will quickly get longer and longer as the CB wears out. The life expectancy for CBs of that type is frequently measured in tens of...

    Geneva FL: July 4th Parade 9AM on Thursday 7/4

    Ray, I'll be there but it looks like the OL will be stuck in Ok after all. I'll figure out some kind of food to bring. Oh, and I'll bring a couple of gallons of tea too. If we're going to have fish then someone should bring the makings for hush puppies.

    Ryme or reason to bumper markings?

    I've never tried it but I'm told that you can take paint off by the layers by using brake fluid. YMMV!

    Radioactive Deuce?

    Xray, Can you recommend a decent but cheap geiger detector or other detector that we can use to check our gauges and other surplus items? Also, I've been told that many of the glow in the dark gauges no longer glow due to the phosphorescent material wearing out even though the radium is...

    Mark, How many do you have signed up so far? I'm inviting a couple of friends. One has M725 and M38 and the other has a NICE 1945 GPW with trailer. He also has a GORGEOUS, all original 1948 Cadillac convertible so he may drive it instead. I'll probably have the A1 up and running by then...

    What rolling chassis/donor pickup would be best fit under M37

    There's a long article somewhere on line about a guy that pulled the body off of his M37 and mounted it on a chassis of a late model Dodge truck with a Cummins engine. IIRC he had to narrow the chassis and also shorten the wheel base. He used the truck axles and I think he had to narrow them...

    Ryme or reason to bumper markings?

    That's the style that the Fla Nation Guard is currently using (black on white). Your picture is too small to read what on the vehicle but it may be another NG vehicle. I'm not sure, but I suspect that since NG vehicles are under state control (most of the time) that they follow what ever...

    What type of connector is this and where can I find a power cable for it?

    Lithium batteries should store safely for a VERY long time. The real trouble starts if you drill or cut into one! Sorry can't help on the connector. I THINK I've seen the same connector used on some of the older NV googles but I never saw the cable and mating plug so I can help. But I go...

    What type of connector is this and where can I find a power cable for it?

    Those Li-SO2 batteries contain Lithium and Sulfur Dioxide and are NASTY when they leak! Be careful with them! Puncture one and they'll clear out a building! The gas toxic and highly corrosive.
