Default Re: Radio identity please.

Hello Richard thank you so much, I was about to sort out a list of things that I would probably want but will wait until I have had a good read.
The 'Ultra' speaker I thought would be ok but it seems that even it has been got at. I assume that it would have been a moving iron job but the coil etc. has been removed by breaking it off the mounting and another very small unit hung on by one screw
At least I have 5 ,as yet, unbroken valve holders and a collection of valves which I have a feeling are just put in for show.
Hi ed the frame coils I have yet to try having been stopped by the speaker which I am going to try to repair. There are 4 coils 10 turns, 20 turns, 20 turns and 10 turns and a wave change switch with 14 pairs of contacts and a rats nest of wires, ranges marked 'Long' and 'Short'. A 3 scotch job just looking at it
Oh and a further coil which is separate and about 10" square and wound round the speaker frame and connected to --------- nothing.
Cheers all.
Geoff.
