Highly interested as well. Might be worth a trip to office depo or something to find one off another item. Very cool idea!

Am I ok to post my research here or do you want me to make my own thread? I don't want to hijack!

Made some progress after three hours of research. It's amazing how you can get absorbed into some minor detail and time flies. Came across a blog where a guy reviews antique radios. He mentioned that "yahoo Japan" is the go to place for obscure portable radios. He's right it seems. I somehow ended up in the right place despite not being able to read kanji. I've sifted through hundreds of pages and come across a lot of variants like our beloved sonix. Just click the below link and look for similar sets. The Cougar 7 seems to be wildly popular in Japan. http://category.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/list/アンティーク-ラジオ-オーディオ機器-家電-AV-カメラ-オークション/20020/?p=アンティーク&tab_ex=commerce&fr=auc-prop&s1=score2&o1=a&b=521

Is there a gallery anywhere that has all of these reference pics with arrows and comments?

Anyone ever looked into these WINDSOR 6 Models? It shows some resemblance and it's interesting that's it's a British company. http://www.jackbergsales.com/electronics/WindsorM6SolidStateAMFMPocketRadio.htm

Thank you icon88! For those looking for a new search method I suggest we start using some Chinese search engines instead of just Western style Google. I'm trying to figure out how to use Baidu (biggest search engine in China) with translation. Tedious but worth some time.

My god I love the MEPD! It feels so nice finding a group of people who share my obsession with searches and mysterious information like this. I've got a friend whose been in the audio business for over 40 years looking into this. Been a sound guy for music and commercials all over the world. Really hope he has insight he can share.

Oh my.... I am going to use as many ideas from this as I can for my build. Thank you so much for posting! EDIT: I just want to add that I wish we had as many threads like this is possible. I feel like I learned so much about this from the build to how to do research.

If this is the backpack that Rick showed on Facebook Sunday, its a gorgeous pack!

Glorious work! I have TJ's completion kit coming and I am just waiting for DoopyDo's to get another in stock for SWAT.

BTW - You have my full support. #8 is a specific goal for myself so I plan on being one of those 50 by October.

Hyperfirm is amazing! I got one in my classroom that my students go crazy over it posing and taking pictures.

Looks fantastic!

3 . I am building mine when you send out your next run. If a new guy can help out while building his, I would be glad to assist. 5. This will be a significant amount of work . Out of all the goals this is the most time consuming for staff but has the highest potential payoff for recruiting and awareness. Especially if you do something unique like a feature article on building a part, perhaps some fan fiction (flash fiction so it will fit into an article), "10 troopers answer the question - why did you chose a sandtrooper as a costume?" etc... I really look forward to this goal!

I think you can get replacements on Trooperbay.

Thank you everyone!

Also, should I make a build thread here or whitearmor? There are a ton of ANOVOS build threads going and I don't want to get lost in the shuffle. I will read & reread, watch videos but I know I will still have a ton of questions.

Heh...you knows whats awesome. I already had two of these threads bookmarked. I have been all over whitearmor

Interesting. Thank you for the responses! As this is my first EVER build perhaps I should just focus on a TD.

EXACTLY! I need a run down like that.

Hello Folks I have been trying my hardest to find a thread that discusses specific questions but no luck. So my apologies if I missed the threads. I have AM 2.0 armor on its way. I want to get into Centurion status then MEPD (Not sure I can do SWAT due to the E-11 blaster regs but I will see). Is there any threads out there that mimics such a process?

trooper1 is a member here. I suggest you message him and order one. I just received my pauldron from him and the quality is outstanding!

Hey Folks About to order these off Etsy and wanted to get your thoughts first. https://www.etsy.com/listing/232556564/mp40-ammo-sandtrooper-pouches sorry all...can't get the pictures to direct link

Hello! Evan from Dallas. I work at a non profit as a teacher. Had the 501st over and fell in love so I joined as a Sith Lord (SL 17000) in Star Garrison. I got armor on its way that I'll build then weather. I'm here for help with that as well as getting MP40 pouches, pauldron and a back pack. Been lurking here for a bit, love this forum!
