Look what a friend gave me. Need help to ID

[James D Teel II]

After having looked for years for a decent 6/6 crystal calibrator dog bone, I've now seen several in the last few days, one of which I went ahead and purchased so I can retire the one I restored. I was also able to pick up a complete spares box like that one. It's amazing to me that there is still so much good stuff out there after all these years.

That's a nice grouping you've been given. I like being able to see the more rare bits.

Well James, there is the old saying that when it rains it pours.
I have multiples of many of the cables....way more than I will ever use. At some point I'll put the spares up for trade.

Rob , i have a couple of spare HP amplifiers …You already have i see the power supply ( rectifier ) , the tuning unit and the HP variometer . You need a stock Mk3 No 19 and with an amplifier you have everything but the specific antenna for the HP set .I could drop the amplifier at the Brandon airport around July 23 - 24 or so .It’s a heavy son of a b of a box !

Robert
Lets make a deal.

As to the regular 19 set needed to complete this set, I have a half dozen sitting out in the shed. I'll have to have a look and see if there are any mk3s out there.

This will be travelling West to you in July if the weather improves . BTW : Never believe anyone that says it’s an experimental unit .It is not . While not used in the NWE theater it was used extensively in Canada during the war and post -war including Korea . They were mounted in the Wire-5 that were all wired for them from the factory . 1/5 carried the HP set and those that were had a 110 V generator on the bottom of the generator compartment . The Reserves used them into the 60’s in the Wire -5 setup .

There is a painting by a war artist of a scene in Korea where an amplifier can be seen in the background. As to experimental, it was in May, 1943.
