No one is keeping YOU from gathering money for acquisition, restoration,
and floor space for a static display.

Or is it just easier for you to piss and moan about the people that are
actually doing something without any personal involvement on your part
other than your pissing and moaning?

What a ridiculous crock.

The general public was never attracted to CB.  Initially it was

It is true, technology has moved on just as it always does and always will, 
but the CB craze of the late 70's was dead long before the technological 
advances you mention were developed and it had NOTHING to do with 
Reagan/Bush political intolerance for pete's sake.

It was a fad, mainly among teenagers, and like all fads it's lifespan was 
destined to be a short one.

Was it Reagan/Bush that killed the Afro hair style, bell-bottom jeans, soul 
music, parachute pants, etc.?

The FCC abandoned the CB service to the wolves and that's what took it over 
and that's what will take it over again as soon as the sunspot cycle 
permits.

What passing 90's fads are you going to blame on the intolerance of the Bush 
43 administration?

>>i have a national nc-98. main dial cord is slipping any ideas to fixing 
>>it?<<

It wasn't a dial cord but the same principal. A National NC-140 that I had 
picked up had a disk with a rubber coated edge that slipped inside of 
another disk that had a double edge on it. It was slipping real bad, 
couldn't hardly get it to turn. I purchased a product (think it was made by 
Dupont) at an automotive store intended for v belts, think it had some rosin 
in it. I sprayed some into a small lid then dabbed a q-tip in it and applied 
it all the way around that large disk.That's been 7 or 8 years ago and it's 
still working like new. You might give it a try before you take on 
re-stringing. RM~

PS, That stuff works great on air compressors and table saws also.

Yet you think *you* have the right to dictate to the people that own and
pay for those craft what _they_ "should" do with their own property.

Which will have absolutely *zero* effect on the number of non-flying 
"relics" on static display.

Available evidence suggests (*very* strongly, too) that "more or less
*NOBODY*" wants to spend the money to preserve such static non-flying
display aircraft.  That *those* aircraft are being 'reduced to scrap'
_today_,  for lack of interest.  "What a shame", indeed.

Not to put too fine a point on it, how much money have _you_ donated to 
the support of _any_ "non-flying B-17 static display" organization?

It's always easier to spend somebody else's money, isn't it?

I suspect the appellation 'hypocrite' applies.

I take it you don't speak face-to-face with others very often?
Your low-brow approach to debate is, if nothing else, good for a chuckle.

Looks like you just enjoy arguing without reason; because you're completely 
unarmed,
and going in pointless circles with your posts. Try to make a valid point, 
please.

Wow...? Not sure what to say to that after reading your cumulative posts.
First, please refer to the "lost ball" statement above, then
try to do some research on vintage aircraft clubs, museums, owners and 
current displays.

Plane-loads! And no thanks to you, we sit about debating whether or not a 
Neanderthal with a superiority complex is a paradox.

Mister, it's painfully obvious that your intent is not to prove a point, nor 
offer a reasonable debate; but to simply try and talk others down.
You must have a very hollow existence.

I hope and pray you can find a better way to spend your time.

I have one of those also. I am guessing that it is a low cost "toy" 
microphone from the
1930's or 40'z. I seem to remember ads for that kind of equipment from 
those days.
It's too "cheap" to a military mic.

I have one here.  It's (I'm told) the microphone for a Victor RE57
combination
radio/phonograph/recorder, dating from 1930-31.  My RE57 is a TRF radio
with capability (as implied) to play 78s and record on blank disks.  I got
my mic on the 'bay for this radio.
You may find a market for these often-missing mics on
rec.antiques.radio+phono.

You completely missed it, Woody. My only concern here is to preserve a
historical artifact which once destroyed, can never be replaced. If the
current owners and future owners keep flying it around, it eventually
will be destroyed. Hopefully at some point the owners will wise up and
say "Enough. Lets park it before it's too late.".

My concern is as simple as that. Please do not read other motives into

General aviation doesn't need parking as far as I can tell. 

The B-17G should be parked in the desert, in a hangar, where there is
low humidity and no violent weather. It would last practically forever,
and at five or ten bucks a ticket, would be a source of income also
practically forever. And guess what... no maintenance cost either,
except maybe for a feather duster now and then. :-)

This is a nicely built Wattmeter project that just needs the meter to
complete it.  If you already have some Bird elements this would be a
great item for you.

Somebody did a nice job building this.  The RF coupler line section
with 'N' type connectors was made by Bird Electronics and accepts the
standard slugs.  I connected my Bird 43 meter to the leads and tested
it to make sure it is functioning. 

The aluminum case measures 5" high, 4" wide and 3" deep.  The meter
cutout is 2-3/4" to fit a 3" meter.  You would probably need a 50 -
100 uA meter or scrounge around for a Bird meter..

I am asking $55.00 plus shipping costs for this.  ($4.00 - $6.00 by
Priority Mail and $1.30 for insurance if desired.  If interested
please reply by e-mail.

I came in late to the game, having been weaned on  transistorized

late stage of the game. The glow, the sound, the look and the smell too, 
for cryin' out loud. All awesome.

Hi,

I'm looking for the operator as well as and in particular - Service Manual - 
for a Systron Donner made item. It was made for Motorola. It is a Frequency 
Counter/Deviation Meter. The tag on back with the Systron Donner name on it 
says model #SLN6418A 75. On the inside at the operating position - it has on 
top section - Motorola Frequency Counter. The bottom section says - Motorola 
Auto-Tune Deviation meter.

I contacted SD once and never really got a reply worth helping. A 
"Secretary" called me back but said she would have to refer it to someone 
else. I never heard back from "someone else"

Any help?

Thanks,

If it wasn't 'Excellent' as advertised; how was it 'basically as

That doesn't sound excellent at all...in fact sounds pretty bad.

I hate the peanuts; but does sound like it was well packed...all the

Bill, I'm not reading any motives. I'm simply responding to your approach. 
It's a bit harsh.

As others have pointed out, there are plenty of clipped wings grounded out 
just as you describe.

Also, as others have said: We're getting nowhere fast, this is the wrong 
group for that, and 'tis ok to agree to disagree.

However; I will concede a bit and say you can feel good knowing that if this 
were the *last* B-17, I'd probably lean your way too. But it isn't the last, 
and there's plenty of preserves.

What we have come to is quite simple; to collect or not to collect.... that 
is the question.

The answer of course, is equally simple:

All hail the great and powerful.....*owner*.

Personal prefs aren't much for debating.... so I shall bow out.
regards,
Woody

Just found one of these at the Charlotte meet, need the manual on it. 
I've looked on BAMA, but I guess I need a mfg name there? How would I 
find it using the military nomenclature on the unit?

Hello Ken,

BAMA has a lot of the manuals that I used to have on my web site, in pdf 
form. But they didn't seem to put up all of them. I have lots of manuals for 
the URM25 generators, I've uploaded the NAVSHIPS 92495 manual and it can be 
found at:

http://www.ubvri.net/Manuals/NAVSHIPS92495.pdf

you probably should right click on the link and save it to your disk, the 
file is about 15MB.

Hi,

The URM-25 series manuals are on BAMA,
under the category "military-kg7bz".

For best download success, point your browser to
ftp://216.24.174.245/military-kg7bz/urm25

Remember: don't try to download more than one file at a time,
or BAMA will get angry at you.

I hadn't noticed them there myself, thanks for pointing them out. I 
sometimes wonder if I should put manuals back onling, I have a whole stack 
that I have yet to scan, haven't seen them anywhere else.

Hi, Ken

That file, TM11-6625-6003-40P.pdf
is an Adobe PDF file, so DejaVu will choke on it.

It opens fine with my copy of Adobe Reader 6.0

Have a very nice condition, working (stations on all bands) Xlnt case, all 
dials light, no broken strings SX-28 to trade for more modern solid state or 
hybrid ham transceiver, quality shortwave radio, trunk tracking scanner, or 
??.  This thing is heavy - we'll discuss shipping costs.

This was my uncles radio and he listened to it all the time.  It's been 
sitting for almost 2 years as I'm not a boatanchor enthusiast - although it 
did really sound nice when I listened to it after first receiving it.

Let me know if you have anything you'd like to discuss as a trade.  Seems 
like a great piece of history, I just don't have a use for it...

Thanks.

FWIW (not much, but I can't resist bragging), in about 1969 I purchased
NINETEEN brand-new TCS-13 sets from DoD surplus sales in California for
$10.51 EACH.  Each part was wrapped in a multi-layer desicant-inside "sack"
and they were all in a large (roughly 2x2x4 feet?  It's been a long time,
but my kids built really-nice "forts" out of them!) wooden box with ALL
accessories except power supply:  two sets of cables, control box, two
keys, two mics, tuner, a bunch of spare parts such as cable sockets,
mounting plates, and I don't remember what else.  I sold 17 of them and
still have two (although I haven't turned them on for so long that I'm
afraid they my not work any longer.  I later bought noise limiter kits
for each and one dynamotor set just so I could say I had operated using
a dynamotor!

Ham radio is FUN and it's been good to me.

But boy!  TCS systems ARE boat-anchors!

Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2006 08:40:35 -0600
Message-ID: <122qfs8lgbgikd4@corp.supernews.com>

Looking to buy or trade toward a "Lafayette Wireless Broadcaster/Amplifier."
These were marketed in 1960s as kits (Catalogue No. 19T0903) and factory
built (Catalogue No. 19T0906). They were set in a small metal shadow box  4
x 8 x 5-inches and the front panel was sky blue in color. The device would
allow its user to transmit to a nearby AM radio records and voice.

I built one of these in the 1960s and wish to have another to enable me to
transmit old time radio shows to the vintage receivers I have around the
house.

Condition is unimportant. If needing work, no problem.

I will buy outright for fair price or swap; I also have a number of nice
items
that I would be willing to trade. My "tradin' stock" is probably worth more
than the
Lafayette but I am no longer in need of the items and willing to dispose of
them in this manner..

I appreciate your consideration. Please respond directly via email and
remove NOSPAM from my email address when doing so.

I cannot help you with this.  But I _can_ tell you that in the 1990s,
Radio-Electronics had an article on building a one-tube AM transmitter
just like this.  I forget what tube they used, but it was some cheap octal
type and I believe they used plate modulation.  It looked like a fun and
easy project.  May be worth asking the library if they can track the
article down.

Fun rigs.  Broad as a barn, but full break-in cw.  Should last forever but
look out for band switch contacts.  They are prone to catching and twisting
all out of shape from too much contact pressure or not enough lube.
