Mystery Lissen Component
Any ideas what this would be used for?
It's made by Lissen I would think late 1920s into 1930. Probably an additional item for a kit possibly. Cheers. |

Looks like a coil support for one of those lovely basket wound jobs.

Re: Mystery Lissen Component
Wow they do look like a piece of art.
I'll have to see if I can find one to fit it. Making them seems to be quite a feat. Thanks for that been stored for about a year. |

Hi,
Not the same, but similar. Cheers, Pete.

Re: Mystery Lissen Component
Cheers guys like say been sitting in a box for about a year then found it looking for something else. But never knew what it was for. Plus it all seems to be there.
That's another little project on list of things to do. Bit doggy using street to stretch cable what if someone belts it down the road on a bike |

Re: Mystery Lissen Component
OK as long as it's along the road rather than across it
