Mike (and Andrew in Adelaide) taught me all I know about WW2 Radio !

We haven't turned up anything so far Phil.

Some years ago I bought some marine grade connectors which were a copy of the Niphan type, even down to the weather proof cap on a chain. They were, however very slightly smaller.

I had the idea to grit blast the chrome plating off and use them to restore some WW2 battery boxes but eventually some now one surfaced.

I will keep an eye out...

Sorry but that's about all I can offer at this point. Good luck.

Cheers

Phill

Thanks to all responses.

The plug is common for the era but the modern brass/ chrome units are not quite the same and all the old units I can find are bigger.

The lamp is very perplexing, it has its own switch (which now works, along with the 70 year olf globes) and seems to have its origins as some sort of inspection or map light.

The hunt continues.........
