Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] I dropped the
drop weight on a K-250
It took a bit of tapping with a hammer, but I got the
lever to move to release the drop weight on my very own
K-250.
That's right
my fellow SMMO's, I just finalized the deal to purchase the Kittredge
K-250 #105, that was built after the Brook's K-250. My K-250 is
the one build for Dr. LeShack, that is talked about in the Captain's
book on pages 260 and 261. Now you all know some of what I've been up to of
late. ;)' I have loads of new data to tell you
guys about this sub. Alec I'll be needing to take you up on your offer for
tech help.
Jon if you
could forward this email to the Captain and ask him if he has any more data on
the Dr. LeSchack K-250 #105, like pictures, a Bill of Sale to know the
date sold, as well as any other data would be wonderful. From what I can
gather the sub and it's trailer were built in 1977. I was also able to get the
trailer at the last minute. The last owners modified the trailer a bit by
adding six feet to the front bed, so they could use it for another
application. I'll have to cut it back again or beef it up to handle the subs
weight better. I'm guessing that the #105 means that my sub was the
fifth K-205 model George and his crew
built.
Jon you can tell George
that that the wooden plugs are gone, the Sea Co electrical thru hulls didn't
hold up well, and that Dr. Leonard A. LeSchack has a doctorate in
Geology.
I'm a bit jazzed as
you might imagine. ;)'
