Default WS-58 set

David
I was referring to the case the actual VPSU is shock mounted in. The lid of the case also holds the spare valves, vibrator and spare 21 volt "C" battery
I found the manual where else but epay from nova scotia.
I would like to have a copy of the EMER's for the 58, are they in a pdf format.
The Willard battery's which were dry shipped were common back then as they were used in portable tube radio's and other devices.
I think the problem was supplying the actual 180V/90V battle battery.
Didn't the 27 set also had battery problems as well.

I have made pdf copies of the EMERs F701,2,3,4,5 for the WS58. I will email to anyone that needs them.

There was a supply issue with the battle battery for the WS58 and the WS27. Both sets were designed by the same engineer using unique batteries. I guess he didn't know there was a war on.

False alarm I'm afraid with the 58 set that was offered to me. The bloke brought it to our club meeting last night and there was no wireless, just the battery pack. As it happens another club member had been missing this part for years, so I passed it over to him to complete his station. Ron
