Or maybe you know anyone who has it and willing to snap a few photos for Tim and me?

I asked a guy on ARF, and he snapped one photo (I unfortunately did not make any before I sent it back to Tim as at the time all worked fine) but it does not show how the string spring attaches to the post and to the switch, it only shows the loop itself.

I just learned through some searches on the net that the TPA-1 contains the same little amplifier my dad gave me as part of a christmas present ca 1956.  Went online and just scored a nice one, missing the battery cover but has the strobe disc!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM
