Default 22

I did have 3 or 4 of those UK 22 sets .

The major problem with them is these days: the very poor low quality insulation used on the point to point wires. They tried a cheap rubber compound of some type, it may have been an experiment for moisture proofing in tropical environments, but the insulation just falls off, leaving a bare wire !


The Aust. 22 and 122 , 1944 and 45 . The manufacturer of these obtained and used the then new wonder ? PVC coated wires . PVC and its derivatives are excellent for this application, the stuff will last for 200 years or more
