Trying my best to get going for this event - I have a lot going on in the next month or so, so juggling my work schedule, my daughter's school related stuff, and other events that I'd like to attend - it's going to be a photo finish to get to this. I've made it to all the others so far, so...
Sorry I'm going to miss seeing you, Rick, I'll be there Thursday and you on Friday. I'll catch up with you at Graves on Labor Day weekend, hopefully I'll have a green vehicle with me this year!
Hi all,
I have set up at Aberdeen every year from 1998 (when it was still on post) through 2018. This year, I find myself working so frequently that I don't have the time to spend to set up for the entire show, nor do I really have anything left on this end to sell. The militaria and radio...
Never had the privilege of meeting Ron, though I have the highest respect for him and his dedication to Steel Soldiers and the hobby. He will be missed by many, prayers out to his family and friends. :(
As usual, had a great time at the Graves rally, even when it's threatening to rain at any time, it's fun! Also enjoyed seeing all the regulars there, the rally gets bigger every year, this year there were over 100 folks there, and dozens of military vehicles in attendance. Syndi had a good...
I'll be there on Saturday only - couldn't get off work to set up for the entire show. But will sneak in there to enjoy the vehicles and see old friends once again. See everyone there!
Always have a great time at Aberdeen, rain or shine! The folks I meet there are the best caliber folks you can find, and you can always find neat stuff to go home with. It was great catching up with friends I haven't seen since Gilbert, and some even before that. I sold a few things I didn't...
I'll be there again, Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th, all day both days, in my normal spot, M-2 . Not bringing much to sell this time, just odds and ends, to make some spare change to buy more stuff I don't need for this hobby. :)
Items I am looking for:
- Coleman (and other mfrs)...
The operator's manual for the Coleman 252-style milspec lantern, made from WWII through 1993. This manual is dated 1945, and covers operation, exploded parts diagram, troubleshooting and basic repair.
Welcome to the addiction, from Virginia. Alaska is a great place to enjoy the hobby, you'll just pay a lot for shipping for all the stuff you'll buy. :)
Now for the things I DID save!
Pics 1-2: AN/URR-27 fixed frequency receiver. Receives 105-190 MHz AM, must use a single crystal set to the freq. you would like to listen to. Complete, all there, but seller never used it himself so it's a gamble. Cost was $20, so I'll play with it and see...
Well another February, another Frostfest! Back to Richmond VA to see about saving some military radio gear!
FIRST - the gear I saw there but did not buy:
Pic 1: Another Collins-made R-390, circa 1951, 500 KHz to 32 MHz. I have spoken at length about them previously, so I won't bore you all...
This manual is the official instruction sheet for the Ken-Tool manufactured geared lug nut wrenches, used to remove the rear dual Budd-style lug nuts from the M35 series deuces, the M211 series deuces, and the M54/M809/early M939 series 5-ton trucks.
