exactly the way the old man made his..cotter pin's..clevis...soldered top's on the gromet's/pin's...sliding weight on the inside....not recomended for the virgin builder.

Engineering feat CS.:hihi: :kewl:

Wow, look at that plug :eek: :kewl: :kewl:

awww cut the crap! :wall:

ask MAC what i sent him a week ago so he could spin me up a few copies?
you beat me to it capesams :whackin:
maybe i'll just send 'em to you when the paints dry :think:
i was thinking stainless hardware?

Beautiful work .. You are a master ..

Freak..Mac has all the insider info.now ;) I got one of the early blue one's. had spun up bodies awhile back but was scratchin my head as to how the heck did they do that till I used my x-ray vision to finger it out....can u solder sst :confused:

one tough sob to make hardware wise...good luck! :uhuh:

:eek:
interesting hinge... other than replicating the original, is there any advantage of that style jointed?

beautiful work, as is your usual :kewl:



nice ta have xray vision at yer disposal ;)

Karl..no advantage at all to the old way as far as the hardware..I'll wire a few up using the reg. way of doing it.....should swim much better,,these were a big hit on MV back in "48". and do catch fish.

Hey CS nice job on a truly vintage plug style. Great work!

ahh you got the solder to run down the pin very niiiiice! :uhuh:

nice job, don't forget to mark the bottom as a repo.
