Well, I'm out - this time it's not work, I have family related issues to attend to and this is the only weekend I can take care of them. Have a great time, folks, I'll hopefully see you all in Spring. :(
Well, I didn't see any pics posted recently from the show - the good news is, for once, I had a few spare minutes to take a lot of pics of things on display at the Gilbert rally, and there were some really neat vehicles there! Enjoy the pics!
BTW, as usual, it was a great event. The weather...
Started the packing already, it's going to be tight - I won't have a truck for this rally, only my Sentra so I'm going to pack it solid full of wares!
I will have for sale:
geared lug nut wrenches and handles NOS, HMMWV jacks and handles NOS, WWII radio gear and accessories, misc. desert and...
As always, had a great time Saturday at the Graves Mtn. rally! There are a bunch of great people who attend this event and it's worth it to try it out, if you haven't been there before. Cabell did his famous BBQ cookout on Saturday night, Ferro was kind enough to haul me and Syndi around in...
Will be planning on arriving Friday evening and departing Saturday after a full day of wheeling, but might also possibly stay the night into Sunday morning, depends on how the work schedule shakes out.
Okay, FINALLY! I have a chance to post pics of what I did pick up at the last hamfest, some of these units are keepers, the rest will be resold to make more $$$ to purchase other things I need more. Here goes:
Pic 1: SA-1794/UG teletype switching unit - essentially a switch box, meant for...
I'll be there Friday and Saturday, same location against the fence on the east end.
Will be bringing NOS geared lug nut wrench sets, and some NOS HMMWV scissor jack sets as well. Maybe some odds and ends radio gear.
I didn't buy the R-392. A lot of the radios I have taken pictures of in this thread were ones I saw at the show, and posted here as a gallery of what military radio equipment can be found at ham radio shows, a little about the rigs themselves, and the prices I have seen on them. A few of the...
Went to the Berryville VA hamfest yesterday - I love Berryville, this year it was full to overflowing with vendors and customers, which is a pleasant change from the trend I have been seeing in recent times. It reminds me of the Gilbert PA Military Vehicle show, a nice venue and lots of shade...
I saw Dave late last year at Gilbert, and then he emailed me some updates. Him and his brother have bounced between jobs and projects several times in the last several years. He assured me that the M819 project, the pipeline deuce project, and other things that they had previously worked on...
Most recent entry in my radio show travels, Harrisburg PA a couple weeks back. Had to hurry at this show, I left the house at 0430 to get there at 0700, and had to leave at 0830 to get back in time for work at 1100. So I drove a total of 5 hours to be at the show for 1-1/2 hours. I am...
Well, I'm out. Work has reared it's head again and I won't be able to get off work. Too many other employees taking time off then, the bossman won't let me take off too.
Someday....someday....
Had this photo scanned a few years back, of a military pump truck spraying foam during testing. I can't remember where this picture was originally taken, nor do I know the model number of the truck.
