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.

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. |

Morwell is not far from me but that's too rich a price for me. The lid/seat is missing . Will be interesting to see how much it goes for. I've written this opinion a few times but worth repeating. The Aust. sets were not the best quality , AWA used their typical crappy paper capacitors and poor quality resistors and the next to useless cotton insulation ( ideal for the damp tropic climates ..not ) . After the war at least one surplus dealer was offering AWA 11 sets converted to xtal control , which was a more practical conversion.
The genemotors: extremely poor quality castings made from some kind of rubbish metal that shrinks/expands and cracks while you are looking at it . Super glue is your best friend here. As a receiver moderate to terrible as a transmitter oh my god don't even think about it unless you rebuild the whole set - fitted with modern good quality components

I suspect some fraudulent bidding is pushing up the prices in the hope they snare an unsuspecting bidder who does not know the market. That said... if a genuine sale... I have a set I'll let go for that money. Tim |

Mike.
How were contracts awarded in Australia during the war. Were companies assigned them by a government agency, or were they bid on? David |
