Did the Mk1 carriers use battery boxes in the rear Wireless battery box? I didn't think they did, but now I wonder....

I'm a cabinet maker, $300 each.

[Johnny Canuck]

That's what I figured, how many do you want if they are free?

Does that include all the metal bracing, hinges and power socket?

Fortunately I have two originals but I wouldn't mind finding two more. But before I had any, a very good friend and cabinet maker had made four exact replicas for himself. I asked him if he would make me some, and even at the very best 'mates rates' he said he would need £200 each. There is just so much work in these. My WS11 station set up should have four 6V boxes. At the moment I have two 6V and one 12V. I'm happy to swap 12V boxes for 6V. Ron

I don't think the wooden boxes have a power outlet or plug, the ones I have, have notches for wires to pass through.
Finding the hardware is the issue.
Templates for the lettering and the wax finish are not too big a hurdle.

Re:$50ea perhaps Ikea carries them.

Mine have sockets. Here is one of the drawings I have and an original picture. Far more to these than you would think.
