Default 2m Big Wheel Plans - Again

I picked up an original 2m "BIG WHEEL" over the weekend - this will get
mounted with my pair of original "SATURN SIX HALO'S stacked 6ft apart
horizontally".

I plan taking the wheel apart - changing the rusted hardware and cleaning up
the aluminum rods and other pieces - replacing both of the mounting
U-bolts - I will measure the element lengths and take some pictures -

Please - email me off line for copies of the photos if you need them.

Ok, let's try this again.

I googled for plans. Thanks to those that gave me the results I already
found, but they were still useless.

One person responded via email, thank you sir.

The others wandered off on related subjects, as this list is want (wont?)
to do. That is just fine, I have no problem with that, we learn much that
way. I hope we get a decent ez file out of it. And whether it shows the
impedance change when stacked that the articles speak of.

Now, does anyone have any plans with things like dimensions? Other than
the original 1961 version, which has to have been tweaked at least a
little.

Thanks.
