The last two to sell on ebay were just the radios alone. They went for 60-70 GBP. The headset/mic is hard to find, especially in working condition. Rod aerials seem to be more common than the telescopic one. Portable use was through using a battle battery & associated carrier. The vibrator psu was for more static use. It carried spare valves and was powered by two Willard wet cells.
I'm surprised more of these sets don't appear in the UK. Canada had sent 10,000 sets over but with inadequate battery supply they sat on the shelf until disposed of post war. The sets were never issued except for battle trials in Northern Europe in late 1944 to early 1945.
