I can't say that I've noticed anything different.  Firefox on Windows here ...

I think the connector pinout has already been published on this thread?  If not it's easy to find by Google.

Andy

Plugged in directly?  I doubt that the VRM5080 is supplying power to the headset, which is probably the issue.

Does the popping noise stop if you wear the headset?

I bought an ANR headset and I notice it's marked BOWMAN.  It look otherwise identical to a Clansman headset, and the connector looks the same, but won't quite connect to a standard pressel.  Does anyone know if there is any reason I can't just change the connector and make it into a Clansman headset, or if there are electronic differences as well?

I think you'll find that they're identical - I'm surprised that the connector won't mate with the pressel.

Oh yeah, it has been full for a good while, about the bottom two inches are all corroded and a lot of terminals are now one mega terminal sadly. 

That's a shame.  If you want any more info on it I'd be inclined to try either the Bovington or REME libraries?

Andy

Thank you - could I please ask how much you want for it?

Hi - do you still have this, out of interest?

Andy

When you say it's been impersonating a fish tank, are there actual signs of water damage?  I'd be inclined to open it up and let it dry off.

Andy

I'm wondering how it managed to stay there so long with a live gun?

Andy

I don't use Facebook for anything other than some groups such as the RB44, Stolly and FV430 ones.  It's annoying, but unfortunately that's where the groups are.

Andy

Have you tried the RB44 Facebook group?  Yes, I know it's Facebook but sometimes you just have to grin and bear it ...

Andy

You need the manual those CB2 instructions came from: https://radionerds.com/images/4/40/UK-PRC320_Infantry_Signal_Training.pdf

Well, I have an ex-Military 109 - Military  Reg was 73KB70. I bought it through a Dealer in 1996 who got its civ reg A765JPB for me. I always thought that it was a 1983 Land Rover and now ready to be "historic" but now I think that it could be a 1984 model - just not sure. It seems to be ex RAF Reg and said to be a Rapier Radar Vehicle - still not done more than 30,000 in its life.

Merlin agrees with you: "TRUCK GENERAL SERVICE 3/4T 4X4 TRACKER RADAR TOWING RAPIER ROVER", Date in Service 14/02/1984.

What's OP? Liking the sound of 1982!

 

 

 

Original Poster - you in this case!

If this is one being asked about on Facebook (different poster but same question wording) it's 98KJ60 and Merlin gives an in-service date of 29/08/91.

Andy

At least they corrected the original statement that the Fraktur font was a Nazi favourite, when it was actually banned in 1941 for being too "Jewish".

Andy

Is this the one on Facebook with a VRN that shows it as registered in the 1990s?

Andy

$48k for an Abbot?  Really?  Might need to update the insurance value on mine!

I'm also highly amused by "looks to be in an unmodified condition; exactly how it'd have been when in service" when half the breech ring has been cut off!

Andy

In another Forum for which I'm a moderator I would have locked this thread by now.  It's just going round in circles and rapidly descending into name-calling.

Andy

My understanding, from nearly buying an ex Gulf War 1 Chieftain ARRV is that they were fitted with Red Top L60s, Mk.13 I think?

Andy

Seb -

Do you have any information on the K60T?  The only reference I've ever seen was in a document in the Tank Museum library that referred to a proposed pre-Bulldog upgrade for the FV432s.  It would have had a K60T engine and a steering box that allowed neutral turns.

Andy

As said in the other thread, you need to upload the images as JPG, not HEIC.

Andy

You have uploaded the photos as HEIC rather than JPG, which means we can't see them on the site.  I assume you're using an iPhone with default settings, which won't work here.

Andy

Beware both MOD Copyright and classification for anything vaguely recent.  It's advisable to go through the MOD Freedom of Information process to make sure.
