Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian - Project

[David Dunlop]

I have pulled this photo up again because it shows really well the four sets of components that are fitted to the wooden case for the coil, once the coil assembly itself has been removed. In order to refinish the wooden case, all four of these sets need to be removed. These components are as follows:

1) Aerial Output Terminal - located on the upper left rear side panel. The tip of the socket assembly for it is just visible in the upper left corner of the photo.

2) Input Terminals - there are two of these fitted with wing nuts located one on each lower rear side panel. The inner brown phenolic mounting strips are clearly visible inside the back of the case.

3) Panel Mounting Brackets - three each across the upper and lower front of the case.

4) Case Mounting Plates - mounted to the bottom of the case, one each side.

It should be noted, that with the exception of the casual mention of the two above terminals in the Operators Manual, none of these IDs are official and none of these parts can be found in either Issue 1 or Issue 2 of the Parts Lists for the 52-Set. Some of the individual parts making up these items are listed, however, but not all. I guess I should also point out here that I recently ran across a few pages from an Issue 3 of the Parts lists, dated 2 January 1953. I have no idea at this point if this was a few random page updates, or another full revision.

I shall cover the removal and descriptions of these four components in the next four posts.
