Radio set No 11 power supply leads.

That looks like a job for a 3D printer.

Maybe a CNC milling machine would be an option . Or go down the road of making a mould . The original was made from bakelite ?

I am having three sets of radio plugs cast in black resin by a pro model maker, each set consists of 4 three pin (or four pin can't remember which) plugs and 2 of the ten pin plugs. When I get them back I will post some pictures. Idea is to replicate them in every detail and be able to get them working if required.

So if anyone wants a set let me know.

Kevin.

Kev I think all those 11 set owners will have to form an orderly queue.

Ron, I think the militaria market is very flat at the moment, I have posted several other prize gems recently and had zero takers, It might go the same way on these :-(.

Kev I applaud your efforts at supplying a niche market. I do it all the time in the motorcycle world. If I need a part made I usually get extras, and often get left with them.
How many 11 set owners out there I wonder? And how many missing those plugs?
Sometimes you have to have a small batch made to create some interest from the engineer and get the price lower than a one off.

I still think a 3D printer would be the way to go. Take all the original metal bits out then set it in the printer and it'll spit out as many as you tell it without any actual labour. It'll put in any stampings or marks or whatever too.
