Citroman

It did recieve the radio-telephone and opened it. It is a 17 valve beast and it has 3 transistors. But more than noise isn't coming out of it yet. And it drains a lot of energy from the eletrical charger...

The dino head makes a nice radiator mascot...

You can have a solid part introduced in the 3d printing program it think?

covering up the repairs.

Thanks for the info. Yes it was used on an glider airfield as far as i know. (123.4 Mhz) Did find this old ad.

I found this old british transciever. The seller advertised it as an aviation radio but i am not sure. I think it is an early car-phone. Anyone know this model. I can't find almost nothing about this firm BCC. Other than it's gone up in Racal. The aluminium casing was put around by someone. Thanks

As far as i know it is a rather pure aluminium. No idea of the longevity. But i think it will hold up longer than me. And if neccesary you can drill it out and put a new piece in.

You could also hang this part in your christmas tree

Here a way of repairing that might also be interesting for you. The aluminium dash of my 1925 Citroen has more the apearance of s swiss cheese. There were some 24 useless holes. I cant weld aluminium so i had to find another way. So i tried riveting it. Most of the holes were under 6mm and i had a 6mm rod of aluminium. The dash is 4mm thick so i cut a 5 mm piece from the rod. Drilled the holes to 6mm to a have straight and clean edges in there. Fix the dash with a clamp to the anvil, put the bit of rod in the hole and hammerd it with a bodyshop hammer. Very carefully to get even with the original dash. It worked surprisingly well. Have to get a few bigger rods for the larger holes.

Were the hoops made of metal or wood at that time?

Maybe interesting for someone? They seem to have 2 axles. https://www.epic-auctions.com/auctions/7-epic-curiosa-auction-online-auction-oostvoorne/transport/diverse/980-wielasser-/

I just give one of those machines from my uncles saddler workshop to a museum last month.

The techs from the local industry museum did weld a big broken clamp of my drillpress with brass. But they had to warm up the cast iron to red hot first. It still works fine since.

Well shoppers are lot more important than history.... what a nonsense.

Nice one, your's still has a bumper.

Found this pictures on the web, aparently they were made by the employees of the philips radio factory?

Hi Trev, The inscription sais 1 nonienteil = 1/16 dgr. So 1 stripe on the small scale is 1/16 degrees. I have found a similar one that was from 1 881 gun. They were placed on the breech area of the gun. Only difference with the other ones i found is that they are from 0 to 45 degrees, mine goes from 90 to 45 degrees. Is it possible that mine is from a mortar which is used a higher angle? See also here http://www.lovettartillery.com/Foot Artillery Gunner's Quadrant.html

Nobody knows this model?

Did find this thing on a fleamarket today, any idea were it's from. Only thing i know it's German and it was made by G.Schulze Mechanik from Potsdam. It has a number engraved 209. Thanks

I did find one of those in a french farmyard some 20 years ago. It's cab slowly collapsing and the dog chasing us...

Nice beast.

I have a small UScleaner from Aldi or Lidl. It works well enough for carbs and so. p.s. if you need old solex parts have look here. The man is selling his old carb collections. http://www.levidegarage.org/

The Cottreau engine has a fairly modern looking fan dont you think?

found this interesting pic of solid tyres...nice stock.

Germans had strange vehicles...
