The only British set I've seen other than the one at Blandford was sold at W&P for £1000. It looked in nice condition and was complete with PSU etc. But it must have been well over 15 years ago.
The guy who sold it was foreign (Norwegian??) and he sold it on the stall of a wireless guy from Sussex who's name escapes me? I bought my aerial capacitor thingy from him. I'm sure Chris can remind me his name (Not the late Ken Champion who I bought my working 19 set from). Ron

That was probably the late Mike Spicer of 'COMBAT RADIO' .

Thank you Mike! It's been bugging me that I'd forgotten his name. Mike Spicer indeed. Ron

Yep like the one and only switchboard charging No1 unit that came up on ebay last year and sold for well over £700. I got "embroidered" into the bidding with a bid of £675 but it seems the guy who bought it was more than determined to own it and might have had a max bid of £1000 for all I know. I don't think we ever knew who he is? Lets face it, if you want a complete WS11, you can't wait for the next one to appear.....Unless you're quite young! Ron

That looks like original paint and there are no scratches from a mounting tray so it likely wasn't used in a vehicle.
