Latitude/Longitude Processors

Step 01

Fit the two Latitude/Longitude Processor Fronts over the two larger raised rectangles of the Rear Left Component Station, aligning the locating pin on each to the matching alignment holes, as shown:

Secure these into place from below with two (2) AP screws, one for each:

Fit the two Latitude/Longitude Processor Rears over the two smaller rectangles of the Rear Left Component Station, aligning the locating pin on each to the matching alignment holes, as shown.

Secure these into place from below with two (2) more AP screws, one for each:

Step 02

Fit the AN/UNH-6 Magnetic Tape Sound Reproducer to this location on the Rear Left Component Station.

This can fit two ways, but should be installed as shown:

Secure this into place from below with one (1) AP screw:

Step 03

Retrieve your Cargo Area Floor assembly from the previous stage. Fit the four posts of the Rear Left Component Station to the matching holes at this location:

When aligned correctly, the Rear Left Component Station should sit down flush on the Cargo Area Floor:

Secure the Rear Left Component Station into place with four (4) AP screws, two here…

… and two more here:

While that step completes this issue, I am a bit disappointed with the lack of detail on these parts. The image below is from the restored real Ecto-1 and you can clearly see numbers, buttons, and displays that are missing from the stock parts. Luckily, I heard that Mike Lane will be including sticker upgrades for these parts in his upcoming Ecto-1 Decal Set. As soon as it is available, I will return to this issue and add them here!

Thoughts

This was a simple issue to assemble. I like them quick and easy!
