Default B set base

Jim

I have some new No. 19 set "B" bases , the rubber section . It's a convoluted shaped thing that sits on the metal base . A 20" rod screws into the rubber section.

I sold one to Rob Fast , for his HUW truck . It would be rather difficult to copy as it has a metal base and top moulded into the rubber . I think I have about ten left . Many years ago I found a box of about 50 new ones . Also had some of the crew in rods .

By the way , the B set was almost useless . The crews found out quickly it was better to open the hatch and shout to the tank next door , rather than use the B set . A single tube super reg set running at 250 ? MHZ was a bit too ambitious I think .
