Hot Rods B&M Hydro transmission help to identify

Gene Berck in Salinas is no longer building transmission, his age and health has him now living in a hospice or nursing home either in Salinas, or near where he lived in Monterey, Calif. he's a very good friend of mine.

 

That’s sad, but I guess we will all get there eventually. I hope he’s receiving good care and is at peace with this season of his life with lots of fond memories. Another of our priceless resources fading away.

 

B&M stamped the same info from the tag on the machined surface on the back of the main case, driver’s side next to the tailshaft housing. So if the tag is missing or damaged, you should still be able to identify the trans.

 

That's sad.
I have delt with Gene for many years with early Hydramatic stuff.
I knew something was amiss with Gene about 1 1\2 years ago.
Gene would always return a phone call, then there was a recording by I assume was his daughter, leave a message. Never were returned.
Eventually the website was taken down.
Gene had more knowledge of early Hydromatics than anyone still alive.
Supplied me with hard to find stuff and unmatched technical help.
Wish him the best.
