11 Set stuff

[cletrac (RIP)]

Quite a bit too high on the price tag! I see they had an offer on Dec 17 so it hasn't sold in 6 months. That should tell them something

No, they are not easy to find ! What about this one - Aussi AWA ? $1500

Cletrac is that definitely a C8 picture? It looks a lot like a PU. Although not a lot to go on. So far I've only ever seen two British 11 sets. One of which is in the signals museum at Blandford Camp.
My own in my PU8/4 is Australian, (thanks Mike). Ron

I visited the signals museum at Blandford Camp in Dorset today. Took quite a few pictures of the motorcycles on display and also the British 11 set. Ron

The offers was from me and I also called in and had a look. I did make another offer in person but was waiting for the boss to get back to me.
at that price I think it could sit for a while.

Ron, that interior shot is definitely a C8. My body and hoops are identical. It's pretty much the same as the PU.
That 11 set is still on Aussy ebay for $1500. You'd think he'd catch on that it's a bit too much.

Thanks for confirming the C8 David.

The Australian set that you have on Ebay equates to a little over £800. The only other British set that I've seen, was sold at the W&P show something like 12-15 years ago for £1000.

Obviously the British sets are much more rare. How rare are the Ozz sets becoming?

Hi Ron

Id say there are still quite a few Aust. 11 sets hiding in sheds barns and old garages .

The immediate post war radio magazines here, have adverts from surplus stores , selling lots of radio stuff , including 11 sets . The army here got rid of the 11 sets very fast at wars end , the sets performed poorly . A small number of the UK built sets have turned up here , I have one and Ive seen another one at a hamfest , these may have been sent out as examples for AWA to copy ?

Thanks Mike. Lucky that a lot of rare stuff turns up more readily in Australia and Canada. Usually found in some remote area of bush. We do have some remote areas, but probably never more than a few miles from civilisation.

I got a set of the repro plugs from Kevin and also got these two accessories. The pouch is to hold a voltage meter. The mike came off ebay. I still need the transceiver and various accessories.
