Farewell M151 "Mutt" Book

Unread post by Mr. Recovery » November 16th, 2008, 10:44 pm

While in Florida I met a gentleman that had this book, it is in Japanese and is full of photos of ALL types of Mutts.

Here are a few photos from it off a web site for Mutt collectors.

This is a translation about an auction for one of the books.

I had the book for 2 days and will try to get it again when I go back so I can scan all the photos.

Wouldn't you know it, I just posted a question about mounting a radio on the left side. My question was answered in the photo with the group of radio mutts parked together. Look at th A-2 on the right of the photo, it sure looks like a radio box.

I have the book! It's binding has come apart and it is now ziptied together, but I have it. I've had it for years. In fact when someone asked about tieing down the AB-15 antenna I showed a picture from it. I think the book was done by Tamaya models.

on Radio mutts, the box went across the rear, the passenger seat faced back.

Here's what the radio gear looked like:

I've seen the book on eBay several times for 3-400 dollars. Always wondered what was inside. Thanks for the peek.

When I was a school teacher I had a Japanese student and I was trying to get her father to translate the book, but could never get me, him and the book all together. It would be interesting to see what the books actually says.
