Do not attempt to take a firarm on any federal installation to include the VA (they have federal police as well). Every base I've been on (literally dozens of all 5 branches), may, repeat may, give an civilian a free bee if the gun is found, which is very likely. By free bee, I mean you don't...

Howdy Don't know if we have any MAG 42, NAS Alameda Marines roaming around on this site, but just in case, wanted to pass on some interesting information. The CH-53A helicopters assigned to Alameda in the late 70's and early 80's were all turned over to AMARC, sometime after I left. MS 481 to...

Tbanks, popasmoke, thank you! When I purchase something on ebay or where ever, I do as much research as I can. I don't buy unless I trust and your connecting has proven that trust. Won't say the equipment is to blame, I could have easily fried something (that's what you sometimes get when a...

popacom Sent you a PM. I'll gladly work with you on this. Jeff

I offered to buy her a diamond ring, no luck. Offered to buy her a deuce...no luck. I'll washing dishes and clothes for a year at this rate.... If anyone repairs AM-1780's (other than the Army) please pass that on.

I completely removed the power cord and Ohmed the wires. Both red go to B and both black got to A. It was wired correctly internally. Just in case, I'll reconnect the reds to the POS of the batteries and ground the black to a frame ground. I got a bad feeling the 1780 is toast. Anyone know a...

Thanks everyone! The internals are all in the 1780. Looking at the schematic, it looks like A is supposed to be ground, B is power and c and D aren't shown (TM 11-5830-340-30, FO-2 on page FP-3). This makes sense to me since it should only be a power and ground set up (at least to my...

Decodeme, Freeking awesome work!!!:jumpin::jumpin: Paint looks just like thae 53 we had from that time frame. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it. [thumbzup]

cranetruck, Boatcarpenter, thanks for the help. The system was sold as a functioning set up, which leads me to believe it's a power issue. What I can gather from the schematic, C is power, not A. Might have to rethink this radio thing. Engines, easy, transmissions, axles, not a problem...

That'll save me some money, Thank You! Now if I could just figure out the power....aua

Well, I went over the whole schematic and I must confess, Greek is probably easier to read. With everything hooked up, nothing works. Turn power on, no power light. Checked the bulb looks ok. Can anyone tell me which pins are supposed to be hot on the CX-13302 cable connector?:confused:

Thank you. I'll find one of the MX7777's. More questions: There are four pins for the power plug A, B, C and D. When I check for power with a multimeter, I get 25.1 VDC between A and B. I get nothing anywhere else. Am I supposed to? On helicopters we always have wiring diagrams with voltages...

In a nutshell then, this is a plug and play system as long as the power supply is correct, if I understand correctly. Unplug the power cord from the mount, plug it into the AM-1780 and connect all the other components. Turn on the power switch, cross your fingers and hope it works. Sound...

The cable number is CX-13302/VRC. My field of expertise isn't electronics. When it comes to radios if it doesn't have an on/off switch I'm in trouble. Do I have to have the radio in order to get the vic 1 working?

No radio is installed. Just the mount with the power cord running to it and a speaker behind the PAX seat with a wire that'll fit into a crew members control box. I'll get the number off the power cable and post it. Sounds like I'll need to check the wiring where they come out to the battery...

After extensively researching the installation of the vic 1, I have sufficient information, I think, to install my system, many thanks to all the posts throughout this site! Here's the problem: Power. I think the wiring to the batteries is wrong but can't find the correct wiring diagram which...

Ewa Marine, the bird in your picture is at Pensacola and is a Navy bird from HAL 5, if my memory serves me correctly. I saw it several years ago when it was first painted and it had a high gloss finish. We had a 53 when I got to my first base going to get the dull paint job. This gloss looks a...

Send picture if you can, I'll tell you what it is.

If I may ask, what kind of paint did you get? Looks like you've started scuffing the paint. Most of the aircraft gloss paints only need the scuffing. I painted the static F model at Malmstrom AFB and thats all I needed to do. It's been 12 years since then and the paint seems to be holding...
