| IntroductionI 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. Explosive Device Relay Box, GAEC PART NO. LDW390-53152-7, GAEC SERIAL NO.

LM Orientation Course See the Functional Block Diagram Electroexplosive System. 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".

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