Those are Navy teletype machines - not too many folks have any teletypes in operating condition, they are a niche market I guess. 7mmTCU - looking over his gear, he owns THREE R-390A receivers. I own one and its a resto job, I'm glad I have it, but maybe he has three different makers to check...

I knew it would be an F-134 when I saw the hood scoop. That was a common bubba mod done to old flat-fenders to allow the taller engine to bolt into the lower CJ-2 and CJ-3A jeeps. The F-134 was meant for the CJ-3B and CJ5 series jeeps. Also, the M38A1 had that engine.

Are you referring to a trailer made by a company called "Lacrosse", or a trailer meant for hauling the Lacrosse missile system?

Might be easier and cheaper to just buy the whole thing, and part it out when you get home. Whatever's left over, sell to the scrapman.

Most of the pics look like a wrecker bed without the crane. Lotsa good parts though. Someone sure could use the winch, snatch block, and the leg extenders. First pic is a lifting sling bar. Used for sling loading a truck underneath a Chinook for airborne operations.

REO54 - digital is great for lightweight and ease of use, but nothing beats "hollow state" technology for ease of repair, maintenance, and quality of the sound, IMHO. Try soldering anything on surface mount technology and see - I know, I had to do it a bit in my last job. When you have to look...

Much appreciated, guys. I always try to be a fair guy to deal with when it comes to selling off my stuff. :-)

AAAHHHH! MY EYES! <Blllppp...ugh...BARF!> AAAHHHH! MY CARPET!

Did you make the fuel inlet cover out of the bottom of a high-pressure tank? It looks contoured like one of them....

Tell you what, I'd love to have a collection like that. But I would HATE to have to pay the power bill.

With only 4 watts max output on the CB radio, I think you'll be fine. If you were installing an RT-524 radio (the original for that antenna) and had it cranked up you'd have some RF burns at the very minimum when the key was down. Otherwise, your reasoning for the location make sense now. I...

I don't like it. Not that you haven't done a great job fabbing up the mount, that looks fantastic. However the location IMHO is bad. Too low to overcome the radio interference caused by the shelter box on the back, plus the antenna looks like it is in a nice convenient location to...

And another error some guys make, even me once in a while: lefty-loosey righty-tighty on the RIGHT side of the truck only. (passenger side). Driver's side is OPPOSITE, lefty-tighty righty-loosey. I've seen folks with impacts on the driver's side saying "dammit this just won't come off" and...

To be fair, you can overtighten the lug nuts too. Those who put a 3/4" impact on them and leave the sucker on for a minute tightening the sucker are going to find out what happens to overtorqued studs when you hit a pothole. Before a big trip (or once a month) check the lug nuts. If you own...

Take a look at the radio collection this gent has amassed. It is the largest operational Navy radio hamshack I have ever seen. He has done all his own resto, and his webpage is LOADED with info on his rigs. I have attached some pics from his site, and also the link: K4NYW Navy Radio Shack

I have the correct PRM-34 test set for that radio, plus a lot of other test gear that can be used to figure out what's wrong with it. PM me and I can fix it for you.

You ever notice every MV looks better when there is a gratuitous Playboy magazine displayed near it? :)

Here are a couple pics from a LS-3 speaker from WWII for comparison. The speaker looks pretty much the same on the outside, but the internals are updated. Like I said, I believe the new nomenclature is due to an updated audio transformer, mostly.

Well, I got a few minutes today to play around with the speaker, I took it apart and here's what it looked like inside. After years of sitting in a scrap pile at Coleman's, not only was the inside rust-free and like new, the paper element of the speaker was like new, as was the felt lining of...

KI4JSC. Had my general license for a couple years now. Slowly studying to take the extra class license.
