Brent,

Brent, Tim is probably talking about the power cable for his set like this one, a 'Connectors, Twin No.17'. It was used on the No.9, 9 Mk.1 (Tim's set) and 52 sets. They are hard to find and one of my projects is to cast new resin ones (I need two more and know about a dozen fellows who need them as well). The new 3D printers may be an option instead of resin.

Tim, what a great pic of your set. It's fantastic seeing them installed and in their element. Well done.

thankyou Bruce, your right, never seen the likes here ;-)

another superb offering for us to drool over Bruce and yes, brilliant seeing Tims' one installed.

Yup- That's the Plug/Cable am looking for... happy to consider a repro if you make some.

Reasonably happy with the set installation - need to make brackets for the batteries sometime and fit them - and adjust the antenna mount.

Cheers

I found these on the camera, so for the record...
