Well, the patina is gone... I am so sad.

Tuckers are among the best floaters over powder, but that one has been up-armored! :lol:

Check your PMs for a lead to a Bombi. He has some military cats as well.

No 601 updates, though I expect to be all over her in early December. I am not selling the 4T10, but I will be moving her from NV to NM in about a week. Check my 4T10 thread about then for en route pictures. The other 4T10 is a squid-mobile, so of limited interest to me. :roll:

Once you realize you've made a mistake, sell it to me at a reasonable profit. I'll take care of the old girl. Sure would look sweet next to Dewey.

My 601 is now in more trustworthy hands. She is currently getting some work done on her running gear. The engine seems to be running fine, but the first trip up the mountain will tell. Meanwhile... Tire repair and/or replacement. I do need to find a couple of spare wheels eventually...

Another item found on site. A manual holder?

An old USAF test site. Some documentation I have found on the project says it was funded in 1966 by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) and the Advance Research Projects Agency (ARPA). The site is now owned by UAF whom I am working with to reoccupy several of these sites. What...

Also found on site... I suspect it is one of two handles for unrolling a spiral-4 reel, but not sure.

Negative. Bright flash and a severe sun burn followed by a loud bang. Something like this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7qOxicZde0

THAT would have been even cooler to have found an unused, virgin 62yr old, GI battery! But, based on the white crud around the filler cap threads, I'd say it was been filled and used.

...or a mini sub. :deadhorse:

About .6V per cell and 3.2V total. Cells are dry.

I had tried to date this battery without much luck, but now that I've posted a picture, I see the 1952 stamped on one of the cell terminals. :doh:

I found a few more goodies on site. Here is one. 'The Electric Storage Battery Co' made batteries for submarines and eventually became Exide. With all of the do-dads sticking out of this battery case, I can imagine it in a large bank of batteries for something like that. I have not been able to...

Squid-Mobile = Navy Vehicle. :rolleyes: Squidly Color = Battleship Grey, Service/Full Dress White...

The 4T10 will be returned to its true blue. The M43 was a squid-mobile, and to me it would just seem fake to paint it blue. I hate it when strata blue deuces and M37s get OD'd. But I don't want it to be some squidly color either. Maybe I'll just sand it down a bit, clear-coat it, and call it patina.

Negative. Worldwide. There will be more pictures of this unit and the others, as well as any info I can dig up of this particular project. Questions are ok, but I am somewhat surprised that there is so much interest since most here are focused on wheeled OD.

Seismic sensors of this type are placed as far from buildings and 'civilization' as possible to minimize cultural noise that might obscure teleseismic signals. And when they are spread out over a large area to form an array, they can better triangulate on the signal sources.

You win twice as much as wreckerman893 usually gets. :whistle: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/search.php?searchid=3220637
