11 Set stuff

[Mike K]

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

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.

Thanks

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

Ron,
I too have one of these boxes which again had been used as a storage box but I have acquired an original lid which is marked 'WIRELESS SET No48 BATTERY CASE. E.R.&P.C. 1942 and is broad arrow marked (sorry but my phone camera isn't up to a picture so small!) I intend to use this to complete a UC installation for my No18 wireless set as per the diagram below. My box has one of the strap fittings but I also need another or can supply dimensions for anyone capable of making them. I am also looking for the socket shown in the side of the box from the earlier post and the connecting cable, these I know are very very rare but as I don't intend to make my set operational even broken plugs or sockets would be useful.
