Hi there – didn’t realise that was you. How does it with the Spitfire?

Yes, Elliott one per wireless set.
I don’t have any ‘internal’ batteries for my TR9 set – any chance you could post some pictures of those so I know what to look out for?
Hoped to have seen you at Shoreham as I brought that small Whitley bracket for you. Maybe next time.
Cheers
Michael

Thanks Michael – I did wonder after I re-read your post. So, only one of these batteries per wireless set then?
Thanks
Elliott
Peter/Elliott
These batteries do not go inside the TR9 chassis but instead usually in a small tray outside. One connects to the two ‘hooked’ power leads that protrude from the bottom of the chassis.
Hope that clears it up.

Yes, the external batteries.

Could be cells from the Type B accumulators for aircraft-AP 1095 refers.

Sorry – didn’t read Michaels post properly – if these are external batteries i.e. the wireless set power terminals screw into these then they may well be TR9. These are items I don’t have!

That’s interesting – they don’t look like the batteries in my TR9 set!

I think what you have are two Accumulators used in the L/T supply of the TR9 series of Transmitter-Receivers.
AP1086 Vol I (sect 2 Chap 4) Feb 1940 shows these listed as 5A/1386, as opposed to 5J/1386 but the same in all other respects I believe.
It goes on to say that a single ‘external’ 2-volt accumulator is provided for the filament heating supply for both the transmitter and receiver.
Nice items!

Pete, can’t you just find some AAs to run your walkman off like anyone else ?
