DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Yes think my old dad probably had Woodside on speed dial. For while I lived in Bristol which pleased him enormously seem to remember Radford were there and even had a place near where I lived so he could get bits to tinker with in pre internet days Also used to get stuff from a place in Cheshire to ...

Not sure about that but I'd certainly check for tons of bondo in the the sheet metal case cover if it is vantage American amp

The amp my Dad built for me age 18 was based on a Lindsey Hood design and he built a pair of LS3a design as a nice set up when moving away as a freshman student. Unfortunately was stolen in a break-in. Didn't care about other stolen stuff All rest nsured but sadly he was too unwell to build a replac...

The impression I got was that Neil was after a modern amp along the lines of the one which needs replacing. If you're getting into the realms of classic stuff, well, that's a whole different ball game... My Onkyo is a stand in while I get my Sugden A48 Series 2 overhauled. When that's done, the Onk...

Totally agree if not done already check the compression as an initial step. Leak down can sometimes be quite revealing

Spent around four years working part-time just for fun with Chris Turner in his Willesden "Porsche community centre" and learned a lot from the master including on MFI CMA practical. He never used protractors. Didn't own them. Correct that the factory simplified procedure to essentially di...

...think the sepia T might be Jim Breazeale with its distinctive six pipe that I mentioned. Hard to be sure as car shown briefly in the video. I suggest dropping him a PM via early S registry

Great stuff Sam, I remember hanging with your dad and a handful other early Porsche owners every third weds at the Rose of York long before the Internet community days. Before you were born. Making me feel old. My kids will have to pry the keys to my RS pity of my cold dead hands ;) Memories of disc...

As a start I'd ask Jim Breazeale former owner of EASY a recently closed Porsche salvage yard in San Fransisco. Think he has a six tailpipe on a long-term owned sepia T 911. Not sure if he frequents DDK. He can be found regularly posting over on "early s registry" forum. Likely to know abou...

Update: Similar question but wider scope than AFN or British ROW over on early s registry. Started a thread inspired by this question. HughH from down under and has a Rhd early 911 (some might know him) has a hypothesis that the kundendienst heft number somehow implies in its six digit code the coun...

March 9th? Car sized pitch please Angus. Looking forward to it. Thanks for hosting it

When looking through an old box of my Porsche papers I found a clear plastic wallet with VW-Porsche printed in it in maroon lettering. Similar type of thing to the various maroon plastic wallets I've got for 911 and 356 -- other than the material being transparent Plastic. So it seems to be a gloveb...

Hi Mike So from this it seems your 73 RHD T that was registered a week after the similar 73T in book 2 (above) got the maintenance book version III /73 print date six months prior ....rather than the VIII /73 version without a number. Sequence of reg not same as production date or shipping date or m...

...no one has posted the earliest example of the model year 73 record (yet?). Some useful examples and questions raised even from the limited response to Ian's request (so far) but patchy sample makes it hard to draw any firm conclusions about overall complete set and the chronology of these ROW Eng...

Good spot Andy. Thanks for injecting new content another jigsaw piece to build the picture. Another interesting question -- seems each new example picture triggers new questions in what ought to be straightforward chronology of these books! Got to say KG did seem a bit odd that as late as VIII/73 wh...
