Thank you Bruce, You just solved a 40 year old mystery for me.
I bought one of those converters with it's manual from Westbourne Supply here in Manitoba way back in the 1970's. Had no clue what it was all about but it was green, complete and had a manual, so I had to have it.
I recognize the 43 Set as well. At the time I bought the converter, this surplus dealer had a whole section of his yard filled with surplus radar and communications equipment that had come out of either the Pine Tree Line or a Ssction of the Dew Line. Sitting among all the radar stuff was at least one complete set of all the major bits for one of these 43-Sets. As you mentioned. Hugely heavy and far more than I could deal with in the back of a Pontiac Acadian.
The Converter was built by Electronic Laboratories of Canada Ltd in 1943, Serial Number C 638
The larger electronic stuff sat out side for at least a year and then disappeared. I think somebody bought the lot for scrap.
