Military Public Address System at GA Rally

[wreckerman893]

I recently purchased two military public address systems from GL OKC.
I have got them home and the other day I opened one of them.
It had never been used!!!!!
Everything was still in the original wrappers to include mikes, cords, stands, speakers, etc.
It has a turntable for 33 and 78 rpm records but no radio.
If anybody has any military music records, marches, bugel calls. pomp and circumstance music, etc., and are attending the rally....please bring them.
The intent is not to have full time background music but to be able to sound a few calls at appropriate times (mess call, revelee, taps).
I have all of this on CD's but no way to plug into the old school system yet (and no time to do it before the rally).
Any help in this matter would be appreciated.

What a score! cool! I hope someone can find something to play on it, for the rally!

 

[gimpyrobb]

What inputs does it use? xlr, 1/4 inch, rca?

 

[Speddmon]

Yeah, hooking up to it with your CD is easy as pie...if there is a "Radio Trash" store around within driving distance you can be hooked up and ready to go in no time....

Always remember the new "Radio Shack" motto....if you've got questions, we've got dumb looks!!!!!!!!!!

 

[srodocker]

thats crazy...told my buddy maelstrom afb to keep a look out for throw out goods

 

[hndrsonj]

You do revelee we're going to have issues.

 

[papabear]

I agree hndersonj
If revelee is sounded once...TAPS will immediately be sounded for the "Bugle Boy of Company "C" that plays it!!!

Oh yeh WM...I ain't gonna fall in for PT Formation neither

Just to let you know, I have an old military movie projector I would be willing to sell to go along with the pa system...make you own MASH recreation...if someone wants to pick it up, since I cant afford to go.

Hey...revelee is my favorite...."Drop you c**ks and grab you socks....off your backs and outta those racks......YOU BETTER MOVE SOLDIERS".

Shame, shame PB.......I can excuse the Navy...but an old grunt not loving revelee......and we can tell you pass on PT by the old spare tire you carry around

It uses the big jacks like you would see on an old switchboard.

 

[papabear]

OK...WM...ya got me this time ...but the week is young

Big jacks are the 1/4" phono plugs.

If stereo input then plug this into your pa system input with the volume down

1/8" Stereo Jack to 1/4" Stereo Plug Headphone Adapter
$4.99 Catalog# 274-367
1/8" Stereo Jack to 1/4" Stereo Plug Headphone Adapter - RadioShack.com


and plug this into the previous jack and into your CD/mp3 player's AUX out or headphone jack.

6-Ft. Shielded Cable, 1/8" Stereo Plug to 1/8" Stereo Plug
$7.48 Catalog# 42-2387
6-Ft. Shielded Cable, 1/8" Stereo Plug to 1/8" Stereo Plug - RadioShack.com

Then adjust volumes accordingly.

Ding, ding, ding...we have a winner....so...uh...who is hitting the crap shack to grab those adapters ?

 

[Speddmon]

I have the cable here at the house I can bring along, but the first adapter I do NOT have....and the only Radio Shack I am passing near will be closed when I go by it....if someone else can bring the adapter, I'll bring the cable.

WM....bring your cd, and a player, we'll get you hooked up.

 

[SCSG-G4]

I'll look to see if I have any adapters in the junk electronics box.

Looked up the weather reports for Union Point, GA and posted the results in the Official Thread. Synopsis - good tempratures with some chance of rain on Friday and Saturday. See the Official GA Rally thread for details!

We had a couple old public address systems when I was with the 82nd Band. It was circa 1950's had never been used used and I swear the nomenclature was AN/TIQ 1 no joke. They were some heavy suckers to. I think they still have it sitting in a storage area upstairs.
