Interesting. Apparently I wrote a long post last night that didn't make it into the thread. Hmmmm.... (stroking non-existant long beard).

Anyway, I had reported the initial brief inventory of a number of vintage motors that I accquired yesterday from Andy Bennett, an Olde Rocketeer in Philadelphia/Atlanta in the mid 70's. I bought two boxes of stuff, one of motors, one of parts, and here's the preliminary inventory of the motors box:

Enerjet F67-14, F52-12, F52-8
Seven Flight Systems D18-4 motors, three in the original (but grimy) package, labeled Louisville, CO.
Three green casing 18mm Estes motors.
a 1970 large nozzle B14-6,
a 1973 small nozzle B14-7 (interestingly, the cores are the same depth on both)
Six Cox D8-0 motors (three are in the original package).
Six other Cox motors with an open package.
A handful (8-10?) MPC Mini-Jets, mostly A's. -- all dated July 26, 71 ...did they only make one run of those things???
A handful (6-10?) Centuri Mini-Motors (the 2.5" long ones).
Open Estes diamond pack of D12-3
Sealed Estes diamond packs of C6-0 and B6-0.
Sealed Estes diamond packs of 1/4A3-2t and 4t, 1/2A3-2t and 4t, A3-2t and 6t.
Bunch of loose D12 motors of various dates from 1972-1977
Unopened pack of Centuri B4-6.
A loose handful of other Estes motors, nothing special except maybe an A3-0t and a 18mm shorty booster.
maybe a half dozen packs of the original Solar Igniters.
" " " " " " " " Centuri SureShots.
four AG1 flashbulbs (he flew with Langford for awhile, what can i say?)
a seven or eight inch long segment of SureShot igniter material.


Then there was this open square foil package.... about 2" a side? It had the impresion of something round, a little over an inch and a quarter in diameter. Uh, what would THAT be doing in there?!
I gingerly empty the contents.... Oh, of course, it's a coil of original Jetex wick!

Sweet collection!

I wish I could get my hands on an EnerJet F67-14. I would use it in either my EnerJet 1340-20 or a Nike-Ram clone and fly it at our HPR field in Winnsboro, LA.

The parts box contained three more motors!

Three AVI 1/2A 1.5-5.00 motors!

Among the parts,
Bunches of CMR tubes, 13, 14, 19, and 20 mm sizes.
A few BT-5, BT-20, a couple of BT-50, a couple with a dried up Lionel Playworld price sticker on them (Lionel was one of the few places to buy rocketry stuff in Atlanta in the 70's. Andy told me about a demo launch he and John Langford did in the parking lot of one, probably the one on Buford Highway)

2 Genuine convolute-wound BT-30s!!! yea!

Six CMR nose cones, four Estes (2 BNC50K, one BNC50Y, one Gemini Titan nose)

a CMR payload section for the old Standard One Ounce of Lead NAR Payload.

some CMR Aluminised Mylar Streamer material (appears to be 1/2 mil but I could be wrong)

Pieces of a D-B foam wing, for some reason glued to a 3/32" balsa plank.
Other wings (very nicely finished, though now warped from age and storage)

A very nice rocket for the Enerjet motors. He didn't recall ever flying it. The payload section opened at the bottom so that the joint between the nose and body could be smooth.
There appears at least one or two of the afore mentioned NAR Standard Payloads in there.

Another not-quite-finished Enerjet rocket with my favorite Centuri ST20 nose cone, and one used for a tail cone as well.

A couple of attempts at a homemade vellum 13mm tube.

Bumper stickers from NARAM-18.

Finally, I'm going to have to call Andy about this one, as I don't know if he was aware it was in there, but....

A Cineroc!!!

I shook it and heard lots of crap shaking around in there. I assumed it was probably dried battery leakage, and so I took it in the kitchen and opened it up over a pyrex dish. Sure enough. Popped the batteries out, but it will take some cleaning. There's a film cartridge in there with some dried battery leakage around the seams. But I can't figure out how to remove it. I know I've seen the instructions posted somewhere.
