Introduction

I have some genuine spare parts for the Apollo Lunar Module. These parts were purchased at a suplus sale at the Kennedy Space Center in the early 1970s for resale in my surplus electronics store. Some pieces have been partially disassembled to see what was inside. I no longer have the original paper work that came with them but they are clearly identified.

Armstrong: "That's one small step for a man; one giant leap for mankind. " We need a new mission to bring the benefits to all mankind. Its been about 40 years and I feel the under developed world is about to take off and participate in another giant leap. I would like to contribute my residue from the Apollo program to educating the youth of Africa.

  • ECS Relay Box #1
  • Box #1 Has 3 connectors, J769, J750 and J765. J769 connects to 8 low wattage resisters. Connectors J750 and J765 are connected to three relays, 7K7, 7K6 and 7K5. Other identifying markings are "LDW390-28151-1", "880102 M. R." and "LDW390M10296-1 EOA1".

  • ECS Relay Box #2
  • LDW390-28151-3, CL-C S/N 0009, Similar to box 2 but has a fourth connector,J784, and 3 additional relays.

  • Landing Gear Uplock
  • See Nasa TM X58032 October 1969 Fig 13 and Fig 14 page 32.

  • Strange connector
  • These mating connectors are a mystery to me. If anyone can tell me more about these connectors, I would appreciate the information.

  • Two nuts
  • Each nut has engraving on 2 faces, On one face "6AMAH" and on the next face "T2189-025DE" on one and "T2189-025DRF" on the other. I don't know anything about these nuts. They may have nothing to do with the Lunar Module.

  • Columbia STS-1 Flag
  • This has nothing to do with the Lunar Module. This flag was presented to my wife, Jean Hopkins for her participation in the first launch of Columbia.
