Chris, this picture looks like the lid goes to that red highlite. What are your thoughts on this?

No, the lid covers the entire box (based on somene having a WS18 Static Battery Box with the lid from a WS11 240 volt battery box fitted to it, I suspect the red mark may be to indicate the positive socket (although the plug apparently had different-sized pins to avoid misconnection).

Chris.

So the lid is just about 1/4" thick?
I put the red highlite on the picture.

[cletrac (RIP)]

I found these pics on an old MLU thread. It's a WS18 static battery with a cover off an 11 set HT battery.

[cletrac (RIP)]

The 11 set cover fits the 18 set case so just the internals and the connector are different. The last pic is a plug I have but the prongs aren't there. I'll have to make some.
It uses finger joints in the corner joins so I'll have to find someone who has the tools to make some.
Mike, I came up with way more than even I expected!

Very kind Chris! Emails sent.

Dave those pictures you found are great. I'll take all available measurements and pictures when I receive Chris's boxes. Ron

[Peter Hommes]

Justed arrive by mail two NOS plugs ZA6448 for the WS11. One question about them; where is the chain for that both plugs have it is original but not for ws11 or ws52.

I got the power plug ZA6403 spare willing to swap for three pin one anyone?

Yep! I may have moved (Never Again!), but the email address is the same.

They're not worth anything IMAO, so postage costs only.

Don't want to throw a spanner into the works but where are you going to find the 11 set style sockets and or plugs ? Did the wooden box use the large 10 pin arrangement ? Mike

[cletrac (RIP)]

The battery plugs into the set with a 10 pin plug with an on off switch on it and into the batttery with a 2 pin plug. The LT battery has a Niphan plug.

From Mike Kelly in Australia of course! He's never let me down. Ron

Here's a spare parts box and a remote unit A in the UK.

What are correct Headset and Microphone for WS11.


Thanks

Tim

[Chris Suslowicz]

Hi Tim,

According to WftW Vol 1, Microphone, Hand, No.3 and Receivers Headgear, C.L.R. Double, Mk.III (or Mk.V for AFV use).

There should be plenty of those available. (I have a small pile of the microphones, and you can use the D.L.R. headsets if required.)

Chris.

Chris has very kindly donated two HT battery boxes. They've obviously been used as oddment drawers and the lids are missing, but I'm looking forward to doing something with them.

The boxes are Bakelite and I'll be looking for suitable Bakelite/plastic/Tufnol sheet to make the lids.

I'll also need the four metal loops for the canvas straps that are bolted on each side with four small nuts and bolts......If anybody has any I'd be happy to hear from you.

So sad that I can't share any of this with Dave anymore!! Ron
