I'm no expert on keys David, merely passing along info...
but on the face of it, yes certainly more than one WT8 amp key utilised in the ZA 4500 set-up....
the keys were technical progressions on the previous ones, so if one failed it stands to reason a more 'up-to-date' unit would have been swapped for it?

and after 70 years its sometimes difficult to sift the fact from fallacy.

I picked up this hammer off ebay. I think it's the right one, but the handle seems a bit short.

I don't know about short, it looks far too thin!

Here's a British Wavemaker Class C beside an Aussie version. The cases are the same size and it looks like the guts would fit in either case. The catches and strap holders are different and the compartment on the left is laid out a bit different. The British chart is made of plastic and the Aussie one is metal. The spare valves are different so most of the guts is likely different too.

The British version appears to have a ALOOOOOOOOMINUM box

The Aust. made stuff has steel boxes . The geologists of WW2 apparently had not discovered the Bauxite deposits up North

On the wavemaker instructions line 7 it mentions an adapter that stores in the lid for using an HT battery . Here's a pic of the lid with the clips to hold it but what does the adapter look like? Also what would the wire and plug in that picture be for? In the last picture what kinds of end would the wire to the LT battery have? And what would the LT battery look like?
