The split-unit mobile SPG (Sync Pulse Generator) that we have is unfortunately missing both its mounting frames with the anti-vibration inserts.
Miscellaneous
There are always a number of “smaller things” that need to be done to move the project forward.
Fourth Picture and Waveform Monitor
We were intending that the left-most position of the four “forward” engineering positions – the one for the “Vision Engineer” should be equipped with a BD819A precision monitor and a separate waveform monitor.
Vision Mixer
Obtaining the correct vision mixer has been a long-term endeavour, but finally one has been found. The unit seen in previous pictures was of a similar design but not the correct one.
Precision monitor for Engineering
We need some way of being able to view the pictures from the engineering area, so we decided to move the precision monitor from its original position next to the three camera control units to a separate installation next to the work desk – the space will be filled with another picture and waveform monitor later.
Dashboard Electrics
As is usual for any vehicle that has a few years behind it, the electrics are “interesting” to say the least. Generations of mechanics have practiced their crimping techniques on the wiring!
Locker Door
There are two lockers above the driver and passenger seats, these have two sliding doors – unfortunately one of these doors was missing (and it would happen to be the one with the curved front edge!).
More Cab Work
Although we had done some work on the cab area earlier on (seats, basic painting and others) there was still some work to do.
A Bumper Posting
Ever since we took delivery of the vehicle, there has been no front bumper, this was lost or removed in an earlier life along with lots of other pieces of coachwork (locks, step/handholds and so on).
Production desk
Now we need a production desk to put the Vision Mixer, Sound Mixer, Comms panel and other items on. Continue reading “Production desk”
