And I've bought the remaining key, which is on it's way from Texas. The listing says it's missing the plug! Thanks for the heads up Dave. Ron

Default key

I have never seen that earlier prewar style of key that straps to the thigh...

If you look at the VAOS parts list for the WS11 (Aust) it should have a ZA or ZAA number for the key .

I recall when Aussie disposals had the 19 set thigh keys NOS . I purchased their whole stock , the keys were various brands and manufactured in different countries, some were made in the USA . When I got rid of my 19 sets , I didn't keep the keys .

I got this wave maker class C No 1 off eBay in the UK. Another bit of kit for the coffee table! I'm running out of room.
The last picture is Mike's Aussie set for comparison.

Mike, mine was made in London and yours looks like a near exact copy. Check the above pictures.

This is a C8 or F8 in the foreground. You can tell by the space between the locker and the cab.
That's definitely an 11 set and the charging switchboard is the right size to be the No 1. Nice find on that pic!
The power supplies are both in place to the right of the set. You can see the top edge of the plotting board behind the operator.
I wonder why there's no chore horse or spare tire.
The second truck looks like a Dodge.

yes ..... I agree . The antenna base looks like the 'battle' British base with the rubber rain shield and the 7/8" rods

What is the rectangular box to the right of the 11 set ? Its the charging switchboard ?
