Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

Rummaging in a 19-Set Parts Bin the other day and found an NOS Microphone, Hand, No. C3 I had forgotten about. It is now in the bits pile for any future Sender for the 52-Set.

A Remote Receiver and Case also arrived in the mail. Serial Number on the ID Plate is 7746 built in 1944.

A UHF Socket was added to the rear of the case, below the Connector Socket and a small hole drilled into the case to the right of the Connector Socket. I have since removed the UHF bit and its half of three feet of wire. The other half is still attached to the upper Aerial Terminal inside the set. Interestingly, the Gas Filled Discharge Gap is missing from its clips in this receiver.

The clip at the "R" position inside the Connector Socket at the rear of the receiver is missing. The broken screw shaft is still visible in the bakelite.

A small dent exists in the lower front edge of the case, just to the right of the Pull Knob below the Speaker.

The other interesting thing is the presence of a white "NON-LUMINOUS DIAL" decal centered between the Speaker and the Meter.

Sure nice to have two receiver chassis available for detailed comparisons now.

More on this Remote Receiver as the project unfolds.
