tonyp1 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I like the thunder bird but Im not finding any that have the correct 36mm case. Most are 38mm. Where to buy the most accurate I dare ask.. Edited January 11, 2011 by tonyp1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmb Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Not sure which one the "thunderbird" is but I got this 36mm from Silix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 If you want accuracy, you may have to build your own. I have not come across any rep 'Birds with the correct 36mm case like the gens. This is a gen 1625 (made between 1959 - 1977 & powered by either 1565 or 1575) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 This is my gen thunderbird which hardly gets used. I prefer using my reps. factories need to start making end links like these for the dj's, they make the correct sel's for the subs but not the dj's. i am currently building a franken 116234, but the hard part is the end links. but thinking of trying a milguass bracelet. sorry for the thread craping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 What makes a TOG a Thunderbird? The Thunderbird name stuck when the US Air Force started to award members of its acrobatic team, The Thunderbirds, with the mid-50s Datejust 6309 There is a webpage someone put together about the Thunderbird DJ, which does a pretty decent job outlining its history, but I cannot locate it just now.
