19-Set Dummy Load

[David Dunlop]

I found this Dummy Load in a pile of aerial bits the other day, The differences between it and the two items I posted on 10 years ago likely reflect a third, unknown manufacturer, but could also be variations within a single manufacturer over time.

The paint colour is slightly different from those used by RCA and Zenith but more noticeable is the fact it is a wrinkle finish paint. The "PC Number" is stencilled in yellow paint on this one and the Mueller Clip is different in that it has a "+" Sign punched out of it in one face. These are more typically found on clips intended for connection to DC Voltage Supplies, so is a bit odd on a Dummy Load lead. This could just be a case of using what was available, however.

I added this to my earlier post in case somebody has a similar one and knows who made it. I also am intrigued by the posting Brent added from New Zealand regarding his Canadian Marconi Company find. A long way from home and quite an interesting mystery.
