Well done on finding them and the link cables - the best next step would be the dynamotor units and then start accessorising with morse keys, headphones, correct pattern mics etc. and then deal with the numerous transmission forms, manuals and myriad of other paper items!

What funk truck would you be looking at? There are a few possibilities with that array. I've now opted for the kfz72 based on the later m.gl.lkw(o) type chassis rather than the earlier Bussing-Nag G series chassis.

Thanks Dave for your nice words .I have picked up a few morse keys and headphones sets already .The next stage as you said will be trying to find the dynamotor units .Not sure yet what vehicle we will put them in , some of our guys want to do a truck Funkwagen while others are up for the SdKfz 251/3 . Will keep you posted . Thanks again for all your help .

I personally think the 251/3 would have more appeal and it's also something which hasn't been done yet as a recreation.

If you have any surplus headphones, I could do with a couple more sets!

I agree with you fully Dave , the 251/3 is also my first choice .We did have a OT 810 sorted in England that was fully converted by sadly a third party got their nose stuck in where it was not wanted and the deal fell through .So we are now still looking for a OT 810 converted .
As for headphones I might well be able to help you there , I will take some photos over the weekend and see what you think , again thanks for your interest .
