henselmonster Posted December 29, 2017 Author Share Posted December 29, 2017 Found these at my electronic surplus store, $0.75 a piece. They are about the right size and I think they will work for the capacitors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airborne Trooper Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I'm interested too! Are you going to make a 3d mount for them? I'd be interested in that as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asher Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Is there a model number or name for the correct karrimor frame ? I am beginning the hunt for parts to build my pack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 @Asher There are a few different models that use the same or similar frame. Karrimor Annapurna is one of them. I think some of the Tote'em frames use the correct style, but the ones I have purchased all have the squared bottom section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 The one I have is the Karrimor Tote'em. Like John said, you want the bottom part to be more \_____/ shaped and not |____| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aramis Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Mine is also the Karrimor Tote-em, and it does have the \___/ shaped bottom. They might not all be that way, though. However, I do notice that the all the mounting holes provided for the top bar, even the lowest one, make the frame taller than the one Strider shows in his build thread. Everything else looks the same as his, though. I'll likely drill a new set of holes so I can mount that top bar lower, so that I can cut the frame down to his height.

Airborne Trooper Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I had to cut off about 9" off the top of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 I know I already posted it, but damn thats a nice radio. Its staring at me until I finally get some time to work on this pack! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Just need some real switches to complete it. So awesome looking but my wife won't let me buy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I own one of Woodys radios too, unfortunatly i got it before he came up with these decals... really dig them! I really hope he will make them available soon to do some upgrade... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henselmonster Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Added an acrylic disc to the radio dial on my radio. It really helps sell it as the real deal. The discs are 60mm and fit perfectly. I didn’t even need to glue it in place (though I might just for security) I also picked up some accurate switches at my electronic surplus store. They were from a radio also built in Hong Kong in the 70s! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henselmonster Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yea I have been noticing double posts have been a problem since the update.... however! I do have extra of the disc. I had them make at ponoko. I have about 4 spares, one I’m using to paint black to cover the radio decal during approvals for SWAT I just like the unpainted radio look for my pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
