Homebrew version of Glen Martin 9 Foot Roof Tower next to one which was manufactured. Guess which is real and which is Homemade.
Yaesu GS-065 Thrust Bearing Rebuild - Before restoration, first time cracked open after having been left on the top of a roof tower stored on its side for years? Water pools in the housing and rust happens.
These are not civil war musket balls but are the bearing from the Thrust Bearing after having soaked in Purple Heavy Duty Cleaner.
The Inside of the Thrust Bearing after replacing the old ball bearings with new and applying fresh grease.
A large spool of shielded 5 wire + ground shielded antenna wire which I spotted in a trash heap while on the way to Buffalo, NY.
The Yaesu G-800S Rotor which I just finished rebuilding and refinishing to go atop the knockoff 9 Foot Roof Tower for the 6 Meter ssb, 2 Meter ssb and 70 CM ssb yagis, the Tram version of a Comet GP-9 and a Diamond D104 Discone mounted off the side just because it is one of my favorite antennas. More on that for another day.
