The Rooster Posted July 23, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2019 Two Navy Talkers with good intact liners and chin straps. Each has a Talker leather blast helmet and goggles. And each has a working Chest microphone with working headsets and about 20 ft of cable each.. Sound powered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they are made that way? But here is a post from 2007 explaining what might be the possible origins of the cord? gecko NZ MembersMember ID: 1,584 518 posts Gender:Male Location:New Zealand Posted 29 November 2007 - 03:27 AM i like the look of these helmets, the thing i find funny with them is the leather "belting" used to hold the chinstaps to the shell, looks just like the leather belting industrial sewing machines of the same era would have been using, how do i know? i fix industrial sewing machines and the old ones are still pretty common, some of there owners brought them brand new lol what does that tell ya, anyway ive got old leather belting lying around and if i ever get one of these helmets and it needs parts i know where to look, just thought this might help others, oh and the metal parts holding the leather to the shell look just like leather belt hooks (see pic below) used to join the belting. heres a pic you can still get this stuff.
