GREG PITTAMS Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Hi Guys I maintain a FV 433 ABBOTT tank In Auckland NZ. I am on the hunt for anyone who may have a turret servo output amplifier no2 available for sale. Anyone who runs FV 433 or has wrecks or surplus parts . Please help e mail GREG Pittams at pit_mech@xtra.co.nz IMG_1771.HEIC IMG_1773.HEIC IMG_1774.HEIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Grundy Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 It's not a 'tank'............... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) Neither is it an Abbott ... 🙂 More seriously Greg, you'd be better off posting those photos as JPEGs rather than HEICs that can't be read by most web browsers.

GREG PITTAMS Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi ANDY, Sorry the extra T seems locked in my spell checker. I also know it is not a tank but when it drives into a school at lunchtime many of the kids think it is. Vehicles such as this are uncommon in New Zealand. Being new to the forum I was unaware the pictures had not transmitted. They were of the turret servo amplifier box I required. I have in 2019 toured U.K. For a month in a camper van. But only scratched the surface. Saw Tanks a lot and Bovington. I am along way from your stock pile of spares and resources hence I have supplied my email to help communicate. I would like to hear from those who have Abbot parts. Regards Greg Pittams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiomike7 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hi Greg, I was unfamiliar with HEIC but my simple computer running Chrome had no problems opening them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get shot on here, though! 🙂 As I said in the 430 Forum, I suspect that your only real solution is to repair the existing amplifier. I've never seen a circuit diagram but all the components are listed in the ISPL so at least you know what's there. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREG PITTAMS Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks ANDY, i think it was you that helped me with repair advise when we got the FV 432 some years back. I am beginning to realise that these turret servo amplifier s are very scarce. Down here I have a very good Chinese auto electrician who will go to work on our unit. This man was able to repair our Abbot main instrument panel after it filled with rain water. It did not look good. But he fixed it. In NZ we have 2x Abbots and possibly 6x FV432 s regards GREG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andym Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Thanks Greg, I'd appreciate knowing the VRNs of the Abbots, and pictures would be good, too! Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
