Nartron self canceling.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Kurt...any idea where, short of tearing apart an oldThat's exactly what I did here. The Nartron flashers are pretty easy to gut, I haven't tried any of the other models out there. I've ordered a couple of the connectors that mate with the wiring harness connector that can be put directly onto the flashers wires then all you would need would be to make a mounting bracket for the flasher. I'll do another post with that information when I finish it.

the deuce connector to the flasher box is 3 pin. TheNot sure why yours would be 3 prong but the 7 pin Male plug that the flasher box has (and yes, you do not use all of the contacts) is made by Amphenol and has the manufacturer number of MS3102E16-10P.
I ordered mine from Mouser Electronics but I am sure there are other sources.

Heat breaks it free, or at least pliable. Problem with the military ones is that the potting material was poured directly onto the PCB and it's expansion and contraction breaks components off electrically. That is what Clinto found when he opened one up several years ago. Resolder the connections, put a spacer board to protect the PCB and remelt the goo back in is just about a permanent fix.@papakb In your very first post on this thread, how did you "gut" the military flasher? You dug that rubber square of potting out? How'd you break it free?
I've ordered the Grote flasher and I'd like to replicate what you've done.
You're saying that the reason for frequent failure of this part is because the potting breaks the connections and that there's usually nothing wrong with the flasher itself? Well that's very interesting.Heat breaks it free, or at least pliable.

Well, the OP already did but I guess I can too.Maybe take pics of your quest, @Ajax MD
