C-42 Set Dummy Load

[David Dunlop]

Been a while since I visited with my C42 Set, so thought I would update a few small projects related to the Aerial Simulator and the ATU.

The Eagle Eyes among you will notice a few changes in the first photo from the last photos posted here.

After mounting the Aerial Simulator, I was able to install the Instructional Aerial, used in the classroom environment.

In addition to the Aerial Simulator I purchased from Brian Asbury, Brian was also able to provide me with an NOS pigtail that connects the ATU to the Aerial Base. The rubber on the original one had totally perished over the years. Brian had also taken the time to send me some photos of a complete NOS ATU kit from his files, highlighting the Grounding Post assembly. From those photos, I was able to locate the correct hardware, and with some perfect donations from my Wife Debbie's jewellery crafting supplies, fabricate the missing post.

I also decided that the wartime, adjustable A-Set adapter from one of my 19-Sets, made more sense being part of the C-42 Set, so have relocated it there. Easy enough to move back to the 19-Set if I need to, in any event.
