Quite some time ago, I was asking for info on Eastern ballastics, a memeber posted photos of those motors, I can't remember who posted them. If you could repost those photos, I would appreciate it. And, if anyone has any info on Eastern Ballastics, from Sparta NJ, I would appreciate that as well..
thanks

Here a some of my photos. The one shot I can't get is the ejection end - it says it is a B4-3 but it looks like a booster motor inside. I think it may have had the old style paper cap and loose ejection charge which was removed or fell out over the years

Dale, Thank You so much for these, I do remember now that you had posted these before. May I ask, where did you happen to aquire these, in all my years in the hobby, I haven't been able to find any of these.

I just have the one B4-3, I bought it on an online auction MANY years ago, before we worried about shipping by US mail. It may have been from Matt Steele or there was another fellow (whose name I forget) who ran monthly auctions

Sidenote - I just got back from a hockey game - the Hershey Bears lead the Calder Cup finals 3 games to 1!

Could you list what is printed on the motor, I couldn't see all of the printing in the photos.
