[PSUBS-MAILIST] Jon's K600

[Jon Wallace via Personal_Submersibles]

Steve,

Unfortunately I don't have much to report.  The sub is stripped and 
waiting for a complete sandblasting and repainting.  I thought I had the 
sandblasting all set to go last year but those plans fell through and I 
am in search of another sandblaster in my area that can handle the 
work.  I suspect however that I will have to travel with the sub to a 
larger locality that has more service options.  I would be tempted to 
hire one of those "water sandblasters" that come to your location, but I 
have no way to lift the submarine so the bottom can be done.  I suppose 
I could rebuild my gantry crane to accomplish that but I was only able 
to lift it about three feet off the ground and I'm not sure that's 
enough room for them.

I had hoped to have my electronic environment software working by this 
time however parts are just starting to come in now after so many 
suppliers shut down due to Covid-19.  I do have my circuit boards 
however and have started soldering the various modules onto it.

Jon
