Default A timely post

Hello Nigel,

Yes, I would be interested in at least one reproduction of the Ant base. for the No11 set equipped Scout Carrier.

The only original one I have ever come across was passed onto Mike K (Hello Mike) some years ago.

I have located the brass cunductor/base insert assembly, which was found in an ash pit with some other small carrier parts. Whatever ébonite'was certainly seems to have been flammable as there is no trace of the material left whatsoever. The brass hardware is in good condition happily.

The same base, but without the toothed section was also used on a ground spike for ground radio use so there may be a small niche market for a few bases amongst serous collectors. I know a few collectors with No11 wireless sets in vehicle or ground mountings whom may also be interested

Good luck with the production and please keep us informed.

Cheers

Phill
