Here's a signals outfit in the western desert. That's a remote unit A on the right and the other two look like Telephone sets D.

I copied this off another thread. Pictures like this are very interesting. This is in a Morris PU in the western desert.

I thought these connectors were for the Remote Unit A but this is the aerial lead for the Aerial Connecting Unit C. The other one that it uses would just have one connector and a plug for the wireless set.
I also got this wavemeter lid off a rough unit down under. I just got him to send me the lid. It has the brackets to hold the HT adapter inside the lid and the instruction panel is in excellent shape. The lid fits the Brit unit exactly except for the rivet spacing.

I got this NOS ZA4500 off ebay so now I can be sure I've got the right one. They used other 8amp No 2 keys on them too. I have a couple of spares now I guess.

Default Nice

Looking good that NOS key David. You will have to try out the diddly dahs .... you might find it handy one of these days. Morse can be used in many modes , such as lamps and flags ! Not forgetting the sun and the helio. I could only copy the nice rythmic senders . Active on the ham bands today there are many horrid senders of morse.... trashy like bad music.

Well I'm still looking for one if you have a spare to sell.
I never received the US 19set key from 'Electrojunk' in Texas and so far they haven't replied to three emails Ron
