- Joe_DThanks Jeff,
Great Pictures, So when will you get a good picture of the Driver's compartment Data plate just to the right of the steering wheel??? It might answer some questions I have. Something about this tank isn't right, I can't really say what. The turret is early enough to match the hull serial number (11-59 cast date). It looks like some one retired it very early in it's career. The intercom system has not been upgraded. It also is missing the left hull ammo racks. Those can't be removed unless you cut them up or take the turret off. Turret racks don't look right either. Engine has been rebuilt once, at Mainz Depot. The stowage bracket for the searchlight don't look right either. I'd sure love to go over this one with a fine tooth comb.

- SFC_Jeff_ButtonI did find one hand written sheet of paper in the turret dated 3/5/81. I talks about "Filling the Replensiher". It list four levels as "Too Low", "Too Full", "Excessively Full", and "Normal". Any ideas what this refers to? The four levels are marked with different types of tape as per the barelt readable sheet.
- Joe_DIt's two long notches, "Stop Firing Immediately,
If you look at the turret ammo rack the replenisher is laying in it. Doug, now days it's yellow "electrons" and if it's a hydraulic line it looks like you have a fire with all the smoke.
