Thanks Chris/Mike for the dry cell info. I doubt I'll bother looking for any!

And Mike is right about the other box next to the switchboard, to stow the regulator in. Currently, mine is erroneously inside my dummy switchboard cabinet and will get changed.

David that is a standard WS19 (and others) aerial base. The 11 set base is something far more complicated and elaborate for something like 3/4"? rods.
Again I have a home made version on my PU. There were different variations, the short squat one was fitted to carriers etc. Ron

You have left the light on , your battery will be flat in no time

The base on the far right. I have one of those, I think its a ground base , sits on a spike and accepts the 5/8" rods .

With the 11 set - they used either 5/8" or 7/8" rods . The thin whip type antenna I think was issued with 19 sets
