US naval fuze watercap inserts needed
« on: February 25, 2012, 07:48:44 PM »
                                  I was looking for any extra US naval fuze watercap inserts you might have. I need to 'finish ' a few fuzes I have that are missing them.    I have no idea why, but I hardly ever see them for sale. Yet, I bet they would sound good to a metal detector being solid brass.   I'll buy one, or all you have.    Please contact me at  910 540 6540 or dkornely@ec.rr.com                          Thank alot !!    David

I agree those are handy to have spares of and every fuse collector could probably use as many as they can get their hands on, including me.

I did just recently see that Harry has a beater watercap fuse for sale cheap.  It has an insert though so you might want to buy it to salvage the insert.  You could dump the rest of the fuse adapter at a future show, and in so doing you'd probably net your insert pretty inexpensively.
