    YEEESSS!! Today is the day that we get a GREAT video (even if it's 18 seconds). Two months of pure pain without a jeep video. Keep up the good work Matt👍

    I agree matt, it's certainly not like jeep building, whole new set of skills to learn, frustrating at times, but worth it when it's up and running. I remember when I done my BC-348 a few years ago, I could almost remember the circuit diagram and got to know the capacitors by colour code, a Top job.

    Ok, give us a tease. So what did you do to get it functional? I have one too. I have collected all the tools, crystals. But have never thought about making it actually do its job.

    I have two; one in my Jeep and a spare. Neither functional, so I was seriously considering gutting one out and putting modern radio components inside.

    Hi Greendot am sorry to hear that you are slowing down on your videos they have been a great source of information for me and iv had many hours of enjoyment watching them.
    Just a question, im restoring a mb at home and was wondering what paint code would be for our ww2 Jeeps?
    Iv asked my local paint shop for O.D. Green semi gloss body paint if that's the correct one but they are asking for a paint code still.
