PLATES, Stop, No. 1 ZA 14522
I was looking at the current state of the Sender front panel this morning and noticed something odd about the layout of the PA TUNE Dial setup.
All other similar dials on the 52-Set, and indeed all similar 19-Set dials I have ever seen, make use of a pair of these PLATES, Stop, No. 1 with one being positioned either side of the dial. In this case, only the left hand side PLATES is installed.
If one looks closely, however, the set screw used to lock the PLATES in position is still present on the right hand side of where the dial would be, but the hole about ¾-inch below this set screw, where the slide rivet would be located, is missing completely.
That raises an interesting question as to why only the left side PLATES, Stop was ever fitted to the PA TUNE Dial on the 52-Set Sender. Seems an interesting exception.
