    Some people use a flat head screwdriver bit for that. Just a suggestion.

    Sounds about right. Yeah, it is a little odd to put the coax connector there on the inside, but as I was googling pics I saw more examples of that, so it's not unique. I'll try to find a picture of it. I assume it's an easy way of connecting one part of the amp with another, for serviceability and easy repairs. This old radio (as in com radio) has several coax sockets internally for signal transfer. Source: http://www.repeater-builder.com/mitrek/mitrek-interfacing.html

    Also: Capacitors tend to get larger as their capacity increases, so if these found ones are too big, we need to look for lower values than 0.002 uF. Capacitors store a charge in rolled up metal foil inside them. More surface area -> more capacity -> larger unit.

    I think E looks like a male part of a coaxial cable socket, usually used for antenna cables. Check the back of your TV or VCR. F looks like a resistor. The fact that they appear to be connected in serial strengthen my belief that it is. D is probably the same capacitor as B. Why the shield is around it, I don't know.

    Btw... the small resistor you've got test mounted on the russrep cylinders isn't a resistor, it's a capacitor. Note the "0.002 uF" that means micro Farad. Resistors are measured in Ohm.

    Look at this vaccum tube socket for example, now obviously we can't see the inside, but it has the same kind of socket shield. And another socket with similar holes for the tube pins

    I don't think they are actually called "transistors", but they are the predecessor of transistors. A literal translation from Swedish is "radio tubes". I tried to google the english word for them but had a brain freeze... Edit: new google search calles them Radio tubes, or vaccum tubes. So I guess a literal translation isn't too far off.

    Nice research Andy! I think those look very much like old transistor sockets. for these: Not very unlikely if the stuff really came from old audio electonics to find a few of those. Nice research Andy!

    I believe the CRL says up to 1/2 inch is okey. If I were you, I'd just suck my gut in some more for the photos.
  10. Locitus
    Oh, I thought no one would be interested in that... There will be lots of pictures my friend, don't worry!

    Ebay armour-UK.

    Locitus replied to TKLee's topic in eBay Armor

    You guys do make a strong case that there are some good stuff on Ebay. I thing however that's a little besides the point. If you don't know what you're after, it's pretty much impossible to make a lucky find anywhere, unless you are struck by dumb luck. It's like a professional scrap collector that walks into a junkyard and sees a 1000 quid XYZ (and buys it for 10) that had been sitting there for 10 years because no one else knew what it was. If you know what you're doing then some good stuff can be found on ebay. But there's no guarantee.

    You can also use a pair of pliers bend the legs out, after you've bent them a little bit with the screwdriver, like troopermaster says.

    Well, for the price I pay I'd get a deac sterling, if only they were legal in Sweden without a license!

    I'm glad you like the pictures. Very interesting indeed! And congratulations to completing the templates. This sure has been a good community effort. Personally I'm soon about to receive a full aluminum E-11 from Jörg in Germany. Almost a year in the making, as as good as it gets without getting a deactivated sterling!

    I remember being worried about my hand guards after 2 weeks + had gone by, but on the 3rd week they showed up. Lesson learned from this is: just because it's not that far to Austria, deliveries can still take ages. The package in my case and probably for my fellow nordic friends here is that the package most likely is shipped by truck all the way up here instead by air as it would from e.g, america. Karin, you're an outstanding seller for doing this, and as you say, it is the professional thing to do.

    Mine is not
  17. Locitus
    Awesome build Martin, you'll be approved in no-time!

    I found some pics of cut up sterling used for teaching, that might interest people here.

    I think we're looking at another "Roots boots" discussion.
  20. Locitus
    I don't doubt that for a second! Have fun ladies!
  21. Locitus
    Hehehehe Yeah, the problem was the IBAN numbers and stuff like that. My online bank won't accept the number Jörg gave me. But he seems a little unsure of those himself so we'll look into it tonight.
  22. Locitus
    Nice blaster Rich! I've been told that my Jörg aluminum E-11 is ready to ship, we're just sorting out some payment issues, since we're not going through paypal.
  23. Locitus
    I attached my holster with snaps on the inside and rivets on the outside. If you go through my build-thread I'm sure you can find some details on that.
  24. Locitus
    I think that varies with the kit you get, but it's usually included.

    You're not going to get bashed. Don't worry. Our own FISD leader Deatrin posed for some offical LFL pics with a DLT-19 in his ESB-style TK. I'm far more concerned about this trend among scouts to use a DLT. "You picked a comfortable costume, now you have to live with the drawback of being stuck with the noisy cricket."
