I would bet some Mk II sets are already out there with the slow motion drive fitted to the frequency dial for calibrator purposes, but no proper dog bone anymore.

Like I said, my calibrator has the 12 pin dog bone. I’d gladly trade my 12 pin for the correct 6 pin.

There is a supposedly 6-pin calibrator lead on eBay UK at the moment, but I would urge caution: it looks more like a modified control lead for the British RF Amplifier No.2 and the connector on the flying lead is completely wrong for either purpose (being an 8-way Jones socket instead of a 3 way one or a 2-pin socket for the amplifier control).

Might be useful for other purposes though.

(Closer look: It's British and has been re-wired with modern cable and wrapped in tape by the look of things.)

I saw that. He won’t ship outside of the UK anyway. You’re talking about this one:

I see there's one bid on it and 7 days to go. Let me know if you want me to put your maximum bid on it and post it to you if successful. Ron

I was thinking of bidding on it (with the intention of putting the correct socket on the flying lead - and probably rewiring it with 7-core cable rather than the apparent individual wires they have used), but if someone else wants it I'll pass it by.

If you’d like to buy it, repair it, then sell it to me I’d take you up on it. I need a 6 point and as seen above, have an excellent 12 point to trade.
