Was at the Deland flea market today and talked to one of the vendors of military items there and he said that he'd be there and that there's usually a LOT of vendors of military items at Reingers show.

But chance of rain is 40% :-/


Bought like new BC-604 Transmitter and a BC-683 receiver today. (WW II tank radio?) Also got a couple of circa 1943 Jeep radio manuals and a pile of OLD military radio parts. AND a 1944 "Army Baker" TM!

 

[RAYZER]

Wow, you really made out today Joe!
Look forward to seeing you out there!

Yeah I hit three places today and got some good stuff and the list doesn't include all the non-mil items that I got. But my azz is dragging tonight!

One of the items that I left off of the list was a metal box of 100 radio crystals. It's marked "Navy Type 10527 box containing Type 40163 (CR7/U) Crystal Units for Model MAR Equipment". I just figured out that it's for this radio http://www.virhistory.com/navy/manuals/mar/mar_1944-01.pdf

Anyone know if we can come/leave at any time, or do we need to be there before opening and hang until close?

Assuming flexible times, will give me time to clean up the deuce a little and give it the usual preflight checks before driving it. =)

Thanks,
Frank

 

[RAYZER]

Pretty sure it's come and go as you please.

 

[FL_Frank]

Special thanks to Lindsay Orr for organizing this meet,

I sincerely enjoyed hanging out with you guys and hope to do it again real soon!

I posted this on another thread but here's my take on today's show:

You missed a good show. In addition to the usual suspects, several new members of Steel Soldiers came out and a total of twelve vehicles turned up and there were a LOT of old veterans out there that came over to look and tell their stories. The military collectibles show wasn't huge but the prices were cheap and I found several things that I had been looking for. (Grimes A/C signal lamp, survival manual, 1943 Water can, a couple of TMs, VN era (1967) Ames folding shovel and case with bayonet hanger on the case, and an unusual vehicle document pouch.) I talked to the owner of Reingers and his wife after the show and they were VERY happy with the turnout and the response from the public!* Also got an invitation from a local TV station to be interviewed on a show about veterans events and affairs. They also want to come out and video some of our up coming events. All in all, I thought it was a GOOD show!

* Also there was quite a lot of wooded land back behind the flea market area so we had several good trail rides and the owner has invited us to use the area again.

Sorry, no pictures. I think everyone was too busy and I don't think anyone took any! (edit: I see that a couple of people did take pictures and posted them in this thread.)

Another military collectibles show scheduled there for Oct 15. IIRC so mark your calendar!

I spotted someone's truck in Sanford this week over by the intersection of Upsala rd and HE Thomas Jr pkwy heading towards the 417 ramp. I was driving my Nismo R32 GT-R and couldn't stop looking a the truck
