What I've been working on

Hi Gang,
Just a what I've been working on

Just finished this adaptor to mount a Yeasu rotor in a tower that was drilled for a Hygain TX2 rotor - part is 6061-T6 1" thick - powder coated

Then the other is an adaptor to mount a Heil MB-1 Boom Mic onto 'other' enclosed ear headphones. LOTS of people love his Mics, BUT the headphones? The Bose QC-2 and QC-15 blow them away

The actual adaptor

and a picture of a pair of QC-15s with the MB-1 mounted

Biggest problem with that part is the double stick tape - the common stuff you find all over doesn't hold up - 3M VHB would work, but takes 3 days to develop max strength, and most hams won't wait - so I spent some time on the phone with 3M, and found a tape, that while it's ultimate strenth is LOWER than VHB, it's instant strength is higher, and it's ultimate is higher than the common stuff

Nicelyt done.

At first I thought the mic adapter was crudely turned, then realized I was looking at it several times real size. Again, Nice!

BTW, What's the adhesive that you found?

I'm impressed. Any plan to tidy up the cords?

That's 2x or 3x or so - a LARGE blowup

As for the cords - that is up to the buyer - they just get the adaptor

Adhesive? One of the other 3M tapes - still waiting on final feedback
