Allan,
Get a VOM, some alligator clips and a length of good copper wire. Disconnect the antenna wire from the radio and hook a clip to the end extending it out to the antenna. Measure the resistance at the tip of the antenna in both the vertical and tied down positions. If there is any...
Radios from Fair Radio in Ohio, Haney Elect in Texas, Pvt Jarhead in Nevada, many of the surplus dealers, at SS Rallys, SS Classified's, Craigs List, E-Bay, Boatachors, military radio forums on Delphi and Yahoo,etc. The list goes on and on - do some looking, compare prices and understand all...
It's actually the intersection of I-77, Garner's Ferry Road and Leesburg Road. (I-77 is on top of the area the junkyard was - so it's all been cleaned up). Went by there many a time as a child.
I just picked up pieces of a deuce out of an auto scrapyard. Was told there was a deuce motor on...
JP-8 is highly refined kerosene, with three types of additives - antifreeze, corrosion inhibitor, and biocide. It does not jell or get crystals down to -47 degrees C, algae supposedly won't grow in it and the corrosion inhibitors helps to break gunk from the surfaces it contacts. The...
Might be cheaper in the long run (no pun intended) to have the local power company run a line and a transformer. That way they can tap off the transformer to get the correct voltage and amp capacity at the 'end of the line'. Bigger wire means less voltage drop at full amp capacity, but also...

Don, every bite of it was GOOD, no matter what food it was supposed to be (cept the cherries, they are in a class by themselves - half of one and I couldn't get the clutch in my car to work right).
Maj Dad,
If you really need an eddi-kate-shun, you need to mosey on over to the MVCSC compound some Wednesday afternoon/evening. It's off Alpine Rd exit on I-77 at I-20 - up the hill and to the left at the light, then turn in at 34.069203, -80.909873 and find a place to park.
DH,
You didn't include the easy one:
GTA-9-1-1851-8.pdf M35 complete diagram of with descriptions of all components.
which is very handy on the pre-trip inspection
John,
The reverse sides are mint because they have never been exposed to the sun beating them down with UV radiation. Vinyl travel covers and roof canopies are nice. If my sources have not dried up, a full set of six pieces should cost less than $300 shipped (two roof canopies and the four...
