Wireless Sender No. 76 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Does anyone on the forum own one of these little Army transmitters, in particular with the dynamotor power supply?

I have acquired one in rather battered condition, the PSU chassis has been rebuilt with a mains supply, but the dynamotor came with it so I want to rebuild the original PSU.

What I am after are some photographs of the PSU chassis, both above and below, so I can reinstate it as built, if possible. I have found a manual on the internet which includes a circuit and sketch of the PSU, but not in enough detail to show how it was built and wired.

Many thanks,

Andy

This was also known as Wireless Set 76. The dyanamotor PSU is designated PSU No 18.

Wireless For The Warrior Volume 1 has two drawings showing the top view of the PSU. There's very little to it so a bottom view is probably not needed.

Graham and Mike,

Thanks for your replies, however you are pointing me in the direction of the information I already have! You are correct, there is very little to it and I could make a good guess, but if I had some photos even better!
