Ha Ha! Nice try Mike. Actually with these things being so hard to find, one can't be too fussy about the dates. I now have two of the early dates 1938/39 which both have the swivel type handles. My other two with the slide up handles are 1942/45. I need to find the Little hook catches for the lid. This 1938 box looks like it should have two of them? Ron

You might get lucky if you look at vintage electric kettles or similar items . I've seen some power plugs/connectors on old electric kettles that will fit the 11 set Aust. power pins . I assume the British had the same type of power connectors ?

Thanks for the tip Mike, English and Canadian sets use the same plugs. On another note I'm looking for a remote control unit "A" for my Austalian 11 set if anyone got one to trade or sell.

I'm guessing that it's the same connector as was used on the R107 receiver for AC Mains input. (Also the RF Amplifier No.2 for he WS19, though in that case for 12V, and was also used on some test equipment for inserting an ammeter to measure the supply current.)

If so, they should be easier to come by than the "domino" connectors as they were still in use in the 1960s!

Chris.

Blimey! I'm glad I bought a lot of this stuff when I did as I just couldn't justify the cost nowadays. I regret not buying a deac Lewis gun which I thought was too expensive at £1000. Last ones I saw a few years back where 7-8 Grand. Ron

700 GBP is a completely insane price for that lot! Admittedly the 32-ft mast kit seemed to be complete and unissued, but I sold one of mine (complete apart from the hammer and spare staytighteners) last month for 50 GBP.

That mast was for the WS62 (with the 14-ft sectional whip and connecting cable) plus a mixed bag of 'F' rods (including a few of the 'battle aerials' for WS38 Mk.2) and tubular case.

Obviously a couple of bidders with lots of money and a determination to have it regardless of cost.

Chris.
