I think it was a standard item used with a number of wireless sets and even a few receivers. Not sure when it first came into use, however.

The original was plated brass and used on very early wireless sets, along with "Watch, Non-Magnetic, W/T" (which was actually cheaper than the standard pocket watch and had an iron instead of brass case). It ended up with with a stores code when they got around to numbering stuff, but was replaced by the bakelite version (which kept the same designation & code), presumably when they realised they would need them in large quantities and it was quicker and cheaper to use plastic.

What would the thread size be on the screws that hold the watch holder to the Aussie 11 set? The holes are threaded and the screws out of a 19 set won't work.

I guess it doesn't hurt to have a bit of 'junk' kicking around. This bit of tele equipment had the screws I need holding those little latches in place. As a bonus, those latches are identical to the 11 set ones which are incomplete on my set! Fancy not noticing that before!

For future reference, the little screws holding those latched to my (Aus) 11 set are 6BA. In case anyone is in need of BA fixings, I have been using this small, helpful, friendly firm http://www.ba-bolts.co.uk/

I bought two of Kevin's £50 Ariel coupling units (one for a friend) which is the first time I have owned a complete and un-molested unit. He also sent this link to an auction where an identical unit sold for £500 #71 and a WS11 for £1500 #93 . http://auctions.durrants.com/auction...page=2&aid=288
