Seems to be really slow, or is it just me. ? Maybe they just go to e-bay. I dunno ?? I thought this thread would be more active than it is. Thoughts ?

I agree with that statement. I get lucky from time to time, but most parts seem to end up on ebay or facebook. I say that as a novice to the hobby and not really immersed in the MVPA world yet. I'm sure if were more active i'd avail myself to a lot of parts at the meetings, swap meets, etc.

Ok, when I die there will be a big piss-pot full of mutt parts, 2 mutts, and a mule for sale.So keep an eye on the Rushmore State.
But since I plan on climbing/falling down a pole when I get to be 100, LOL, you will have to wait a while.
My added words of comm was for entertainment purposes, LOL

I am not dead yet, but the one I have does not have military fitting hitch on the tongue, there is a ball type hitch welded on it.I am sure that you would get a bargain on it when the enviable happens.The trailer is a M416,1971?

Mark, you still have 50 good years left. !! Think positive and remember your part of "our" family here. Cheers
Hambone, I have nothing of interest. I am just always looking to see what other people need.

Well I'm still in need of an early corner radio bracket with the circle cutout instead of square. Not to be confused with the early, early angle iron bracket. Trying to make it look somewhat like I made an effort. :D

This is the one I would like to get...

Image

I thought I read somewhere that some of them were aluminum.

This is the one that is the later style with rectangle cutout...

Image

Plan is to get the entire kit but replace the one piece with older style. That will leave me probably with a few newer parts I won't need...

I have several antenna brackets and a couple of them are aluminum. I don't recall any being the round hole version but it has been a while since I saw them. I need to start cleaning out that container so I will be getting over there soon and I will look.

Just my two cents - I always look here first - but eventually end up looking at Ebay as well.
When selling, I'd rather sell here than Ebay to (hopefully) ensure stuff goes to a good home.
