The F-106 Delta Dart has been my favorite jet ever since my dad was transferred to Ft. Lewis, Wa. back in 1976. So when the opportunity presented itself to get my hands on an ejection seat, I jumped all over it.
However, now that the restoration has begun I realized some key items are missing:.
A) "Seat Man Separator (SMS)"
B) 2 Item's (1) SMS Rotator Actuator and (2) Unsure what the other is called, (Located on Top/Rear) but it looks like another initiator
C) Ejection Oxygen Assembly & the Ships Portion Disconnect Assembly
D) "ROCAT Catapult Rocket" - Decommissioned.
is ther e anyone who would consider helping me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to all who have viewed my inquiry for help. It was a HARD secret to keep, but this coming Tuesday, January 14th, on the History Channel at 10PM Eastern, see "MY" piece of history restored on "American Restoration." I still need a parts that were unable to be located but it sure looks better than when I first obtained it.

WOW!
The seat looks great.
What a change from when you got it.
Lots of hard work and chasing down parts.
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

That's YOUR seat Rick Dale at American Restoration and crew have been working on? I've been working with them, Sarah Cowan one of their researchers specifically, for months as they worked on this "your" seat! They have used our www.f-106deltadart.com/ extensively for your restore. In fact they are even going to list us in the shows credits! Sarah is going to send me a copy of the show after it airs. Too cool we have you here with us as well.

dohAlso, If you located my post on facebook, I must appologize for removing the before and after photos. Someone got their feelings nono hurt and because the show wanted to air them first. So instead I posted another ejection seat and some lineage of the assigned F-106B where my ejection seat was installed.

Hi Frank McFall. Just caught a rerun of American Restoration tonight. Saw you and the finished seat. Man, they really did a great job on the restoration. Send us some more pics. Thanks, Pat P.
