Glad to see the last of those suckers I tell ya.

I could imagine...

For others following if your interested in what wire wrap is...

I knew they used the procedure on the Shuttle but found out later it went all the way back to the Apollo and earlier. The guidance computers and everything were done with wire wrap. I hated it, mainly because when repairing stuff it was a pain to work on. See the pics on the Wiki page...what a nightmare!

Bugger if you had a bit of a hot spot in the middle of the board. Locomotives used mainly spade lugs for medium voltage contactor control, crimped and/or soldered lugs for high voltage motor control.

Mongrel job re-soldering joiners in while standing between traction motors.

Just awaiting the postage costs and then it'll be sent..
So far communications have been excellent with the seller and they have been more than happy to link videos showing different notes..
Also a egt socket added at no extra cost..

Full spare belt and hose kit (kindly put together and plastic sealed by PatrolApart) as backup for family trip to warmer weather in September:-)
Can't wait, CNE Victoria today has just proven it's 3rd season in 1 day theory, waiting for snow here now 4th :-)

You should put the new hoses and belts on the truck Mark and keep the used ones for spares.
