    Video competion between morse and texting

    There is a longer clip also. The guy texting won a texting competition and is called the fastest texter because of the win. He was not just a guy from the audience. I noticed he did not have a qwer keyboard but he must be good enough with the regular keyset. At least good enough to win the...

    Newer style headset adapter

    Boatcarpenter emailed me the link. After looking at the website here is what I think. I call false advertising. Or more likely, uninformed advertising. They may be new, as in not used but they are aviation headsets from the 80's or possibly the early 90's. I have some telex 1400 headsets and...

    Video competion between morse and texting

    From Jay Leno. This video is a competition two hams using morse and two guys using text messaging to see what technology is faster. Check it out it is pretty cool. Especially for the other hams in the house.

    Newer style headset adapter

    Those two prongs look like an airplane aviation headset. Are you sure it is military? The newer noise canceling headsets for use with the Vic-3 have an extra pin on the same old connector. That pin provides 24 volts to the ANR circuitry. I am going to modify a vic-1 box to work with the newer...

    License plate lights

    In Michigan vehicles with antique plates and not originally equipped with a plate light are exempt. Your results in other states may vary. If anyone wants the actual law pm me.

    Are there pros or cons

    If the truck has went through a depot rebuild you will have a mix master anyway. They pull them apart and basically rebuild them with the first part on the shelf. It may still say it is a 69 Kaiser-Jeep but that would only apply to the frame on a depot rebuild. Mine was never depot rebuilt but...

    Pics from floor replacement on M1009

    I think I was 18 before I had a car with a floorboard. When ever I would hit a mud puddle my legs would get wet. This thing looked pretty good until I took out the floor mat. Thanks for the kind words.

    Pics from floor replacement on M1009

    Got the cab support done and the rear floor in. I had more problems with the lmc panels. The front panel was not LMC and fit better than the LMC panel but the rear panel had problems. The reinforcement rib in the pictures did not match up. I had to cut and move it over about a half inch. I also...

    Pics of my Thompson SMG dummy M1928A1

    You have got to remember to throw a couple of engine blocks in so the metal content comes out right. I am glad I am no in charge of melting down the weapons. From time to time we get a call to pick up a weapon for destruction that a widow has found and wants to get rid of. One time I went out to...

    Pics of my Thompson SMG dummy M1928A1

    Full autos are legal if you can find one that was NFA registered before 1986. The ones that are transferable to any private citizen have to have been made before 1986. A lot of vet bring backs were registered during an amnesty in 1968. Full autos made after 1986 can be only owned by class 3 FFL...

    Pics of my Thompson SMG dummy M1928A1

    I got the kit a couple of years ago. My son can't use his M1 Garand for reenacting until he is 18 so he wanted the dummy receiver for his birthday. It arrived today and we put it all together. It feels great. I wish I could afford a real one. The one with the vertical fore grip is one that is...

    Thanks to Stonepicker1

    Glad to see both Stonepicker1 and Stonepicker JR last weekend. Thanks for the transport. I appreciate your help. He helped me out with hauling my M151 up from Georgia and even helped put it in the barn. Thanks again.

    relay will not shut off

    The glow plugs will continue to cycle when you first start even though the wait light goes off. This is not a problem and is designed into the system but it should only last about as long as your high idle cycle. How long are the glow plugs staying on? If they are not staying on for more than...

    Axle key-way seal wedges...Help!

    Some people get a small block chevy valve cover gasket and cut them up. I have done it both ways and found that I would rather pack the keyway with RTV instead of the cork.

    Waterproof alternator

    If you are putting it in a MV why not get a A2 humvee alt. It has a 24 and a 12 volt output in the same alt.
