Cossor Radio Service Kit - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Amongst my other finds, I've come across a black roll up case containing tools etc
It is titled 'Cossor Radio Service Kit' there is also a number but I can't make it out.
I guess it's from the 30s or 40s, not sure.
I haven't been able to find anything online about it, can anyone enlighten me?
I'll upload a photo or two if anyone is interested.
I also found a 'dealers' Cossor 1935 diary, so it could be that they are linked.
Thanks

Sounds like my Pye one. Various trim tools made out of tufnol and other little gadgets, all embossed with the pre-war pye logo

Yes, that would be interesting and perhaps we could also see a photo of your kit Kevin.

+1, I’ve been wanting a tool kit but wasn’t sure if they existed or what to look for so it would be good to see some pictures.

I have an EKCO screwdriver, not sure if this would have been an engineers or something sold in the shop.

I can't remember for sure but somewhere I have a tool set in a roll of black waxed cloth cant remember if its branded.

The Cossor Tol Kit ISTR was shown as a dealer option along with various types of advertisng in a Copy of the Cossor Courrier I will have to go looking for it once I have a house again!

I have a few of the Cossor Diaries looks of quite useful info but yu need good eyesight to read most of it

Cheers
