I was under the impression you needed an AM-1780 Box in order to get the C-2298 working for Vehicle Intercom (VIC 1 System)? Were you able to get Intercom with just the C-2298 on its own?

Its an interesting idea. I havn't actually even driven this little demon yet, but it may be a good idea depending on the highway noise.

Thanks

Hi Scotty

Here is the units that I have tied together as intercom using the PA in a CB as the amp for the intercom. I'll try and find my wiring diagram and post it. I'm not sure that the unit I used has the same functions as the C-2298. I'll check with some our radio guru's.

Yes the head sets do cancel out the road noise and engine, gear box noise.

Big gap in posts on here, but as you could expect, I got close to the finish and spent every last minute getting it done.

Its not restored, far from it. That will come later. But for now it is now 99% complete parts-wise, all original, Street Legal, and running well.

Thanks for all of the help so far from everyone here.

Comms install is next

Now some pics:



Now, if I could just resist the urge to drive it in the winter

Does anyone know where to find a legally Deactivated SMG.

Not totally concerned if its a UK/Brit Sterling model rather than a C1 SMG.

I thought it would be a nice touch along with everything else in it in case I ever take it to a show.

I think i'm gonna start really kicking myself for getting rid of all my old Fighting Order and stuff.

Just curious as to why you went with the personalized (and expensive) plates vice the historical vehicle plates?

Those are "regular" Ontario Plates.

I was going to look at Historic Plates down the road. I wasn't sure about the process, so I decided to wait.

I'm laughing at myself...I thought they were personalized (Bete = beast in French, 831 a military occupational code...I think). The MTO website used to have the historical plate application guide, but I think the bureaucrats have been at it again. Best bet is to drop into the local MTO office.

Nice work on the vehicle.

I'm just putting in the last few touches before I drive it to the OMVA meet in Oshawa.

Finished up the Comms install. Fired it up, everything is humming away as it should. The C-2299 Box switched back and forth between sets. All in all, i'm really happy with the Radio bits. Big thanks to Eric B for giving me a nudge to have a look into Radios.

Anyway, here are some pictures of where it is today. This is not what i'd call a restoration, but rather a simple rebuild after a long period of barn life. I'd like you folks to be very critical if you see something that is out of line (aside from the paint). These were long gone before I put on a Uniform, and most were crushed, so I can only go by the photos you guys have graciously uploaded for me, as I have yet to see a properly restored one in the flesh.

For what its worth, i'm shooting for the 1985 time frame. The other bits like the Cam Net, Stove and Naptha Can etc will be added before I hit the road.

Here goes:
