WS A Mk 3
 

Wireless A Mk 3 - Normal

This is in Waterproof Container "C" and has the regular set up - with a Pull Switch allowing the operator to choose between a Battery Power source and Mains... and a Mains Plug board which allowed the operator to choose the input voltage.

Wireless A Mk 3 - Modified

This is also in Waterproof Container "C", but has been modified (all modified parts are Australian - am assuming SOA use - confirmation required) - with a Pull switch which allows the operator to choose between a Battery Power source and Generator... So... No Mains input... presumably because Mains Power was not that common where the set was used.

"Hope the above is of interest" he says. Funny guy. Of course it's of interest!!! What a neat set. Should I make a place for it in my radio room or are you going to keep it?

The coast watchers usually used the AWA 3B set . A whole team of native carriers was needed to move the 3B around, light it was not .

The Australian service roughly equivalent to the SOE was the Services Reconnaissance Dept. (SRD) These guys did the raid on Singapore harbour

Not for sale... Hence... Hope it is of interest.
