Marv Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 With regards to the seed trays the originals 3 and 5 rib do have holes. I suspect that they actually help hold the parts together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motogpnut Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 By far the best breakdown of the move along pack. You’ve made it much easier to do this build or even modify what I already have to be more screen accurate. Thank you so much for all this effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord337 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 So I'm preparing to build as accurate a backpack as possible to replace my old SWAT approved one which is somewhat dated now. Using the references, I think I have scaled most sizes within a certain tolerance. I used the known sizes of the radio and the syphon as comparisons. If anyone sees any major discrepancies from what I think, please let me know your views. FRAME: Top to bend: 260mm Bottom to bend: 220mm BREXTON BOX: Height: 240mm TOP BOTTLE: 126mm showing below mushroom cap MORTAR TUBE: 687mm Long with hole 45mm below top EXHAUST PORT (main body): 120mm at longest point, slopes to 111mm 60mm wide I think the rest is fairly self explanatory but if anyone wants to chip in with other dimensions, feel free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord337 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 To me, even the original main part/box looks like wood. But who knows.. I think a very similar thing has been found, but the person won't give any details on what car it came from!Sent from my YAL-L21 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Is that last image of a found part or one that has been made looks spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I think this thing looks similar but still has a different shape than the exhaustport used on the original pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies, haven't been on the forum for a long time. No details at all which is very frustrating! Most people are happy to share their discoveries and help but not this individual it seems.

DustyTrooper Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I’m fairly certain those are large Axial Paper Electrolytic Capacitors from a Tube Amplifier on the side of the pack, I’ve seen them on guitar amps many times before in my years. Definitely NOT “Shotgun Shells”! This is exactly what it appears to be from my perception. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 You're right, it must be capacitors. The name shotgunshells has only so naturalized Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can actually see the rolled edge lips and center caps with wires coming out. Also the fact that the vintage Fender guitar amps have exactly 5 of the correct size in the correct orientation with what appears to be those small resistors and wires on a base pad is what does it for me. And most importantly it makes sense in terms of the year as these Paper style capacitors are from the correct time frame. Not to mention Chewbacca’s Bowcaster had the exact same Knobs that came on all these vintage Fender guitar amplifiers so there’s a good chance the prop makers had one they used for greeblies. That little knob is actually another clue that led me to look into Fender tube amp Capacitors which I had immediately recognized because I used to play fender amps and I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years.These came on most of the vintage Fender amps back in the 60’s and 70’s. Such as the Deluxe, Vibrolux, and Twin Reverb series, or even the Fender Bassman. The issue is all of these vintage amps usually go for big bucks and are sought after by many musicians and studios. It really would be a shame to destroy a perfectly good vintage Fender amp! Though the capacitors do eventually leak and need replacement from time to time, so perhaps old spent capacitors from a repair shop could be appropriate for pack parts. As you can see they are the right size. About the same depth as the seed tray. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord337 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Great eye Dustytrooper! I think you are definitely right on the money with this. When you look at some of the clearer pictures, you can also make out similar rivet mount points and the side wiring. I think mystery solved 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord337 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Onto another part which might be very close. The exhaust port. Doing a bit of digging and although not the correct year and certainly not quite the right shape, I think I may have stumbled onto somethingSent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithlord337 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Have we established that the exhaust port has 4 feet or have we just assumed? These parts and similar all seem to have just 2 fixing pointsSent from my ELE-L09 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had brought some aircraft capacitors for my build (when I get back to it) but this feels more likely What model Fender is pictured above? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, I believe that particular model is a Deluxe Reverb, but many of the vintage Fender amps had these same parts such as the Vibrolux Reverb, and Twin Reverb.
