Did they make them in more than one way during WW2? Or did you do it this way for some other reason? For example, to overcome a known weakness in the original.

Recreating this weapon is a work in going back in history and seeing how they did it in 1944/45. Super job. Harry

The first few took a while but with the procedure in place it goes quick.

How long did it take for each receiver to do all the spots? Than goodness for craigslist. looks like you got a good deal on the equipment as usual. Great job. Guys
