Default Chorehorse

hi George ,

Quite a few of the original C/horse exhaust pipes have survived here , in new condition .

Many WW2 sets were surplused unused here . Drew's, a truck yard in Melbourne , had tons of NOS Canadian chorehores spares . I wish I had bought more of it , when it was there , its all gone now .

The BSA variant is unknown of here , we got the Canadian Outboard and Marine version . There are two models shown in the manual , the British version is different , both types were made by Can. Out. Mar. during WW2 .

Many of the WW2 vintage sets here , were converted to 24 V, probably when the larkspur radios ( 24V ) came into service , late 50's . The army here used em right into the 70's , I would think .

Mike .
