[PSUBS-MAILIST] new Gamma pictures

[vbra676539 at aol.com]

Good news about the hydraulics. Paint is fine. If it gets boring, add some red stripes for contrast. Speaking of banged up, a testament to how tough these little guys are--back in the 70s, the sister sub Beta rolled off a trailer in Washington state and down an embankment. They winched her up with a wrecker, touched up the paint and mopped out the battery compartment and still made their scheduled dive the next morning. Let's see anybody else try that and get away with that.

Vance,
Thanks, I will give her a smooth paint job after the first test etc.  They tend to get banged up before everything is sorted.  How do like the white with yellow tail?  I like it, and since I wrote the check, I get to pick the colour :-)  
I just got the manipulator working, turns out the pump is working fine.  The valve is sticking and causing the pump to over load.  I will tear the valve apart tomorrow and find the problem.  I mounted the valve right behind the nose cone so I can take it apart without removing it.  
Hank

She looks shiny as a new penny, Hank. Terrific job!

I just posted four new pictures showing my progress of gamma as promised.  I was hoping to operate the manipulator today but the hyd pump is not pumping oil.  I am hoping the oil is to heavy and cold to get sucked into the pump, that will be an easy fix.
