Illustrated Parts Breakdown Manual for Ball Turret

Mon Feb 27, 2006 9:52 am

I was curious if anyone out there could help me find a reprint copy of an illustrated parts breakdown manual for the Sperry/Briggs ball turret. I have seen similar manuals for other turrets such as the Martin 250 CE and have been told that one also exists for the ball turret. These are a wealth of information since they list every part down to the last nut and bolt and contain detailed exploded diagrams.

I would be more than happy to cover any copying and shipping expenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

John, I may have one kicking around somewhere. Give me a day or two to look.

John, I’m not sure if you have tried some of the usual sources…

Email me.

Chris, Eric & Scott,

Thanks for the tips...I now have a few leads which will hopefully pan out and result in a copy of this ever-elusive manual. The manual appears to be as scarce as some of the parts. If anybody out there stumbles across any spare ball turret parts, please feel free to pass along my contact info as well. I can be reached at: jpeters@aflcioletc.org or (715) 384-3374.

Thanks again for all of your help...you Wix'ers are truly the best!!

John
