WANTED

I'm looking for any parts for the Sperry/Briggs Ball Turret used on the B-17 & B-24. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I located some NOS parts from the old Emerson Turret plant in St. Louis. There are some ball turret parts, mostly small ones but I did see a complete drive motor and frame that suspends the turret from the fuselage. I suspect it is from the B-24 version because this Emerson plant mostly made the nose turrets for the B-24. Send me a PM or an email to home at astixjr@earthlink.net and let me know what you are looking for. I think the parts are still where I left them this fall.
