(+12 volts, Ground, and 'Speech' (i.e. the crew intercom circuit).) They were designed to provide the same output as the WS19 intercom amplifier.

As far as I know they (or a slightly more modern equivalent) are still fitted to more recent vehicles. (I have a 24-volt one with 6-pin connectors from the 'New Range' era.)

Excellent - thanks!

Just need to find one of those now.

Do you have a pic of the modern one please - perhaps some of the parts are sufficiently interchangeable to use to make one if I cannot find an original.

Will in the meantime add to my list of parts still to find (though fortunately I think there are no more after this and the A set antenna/vario parts for the Wireless system).

Cheers

Tim
