Hi all
We visited someone in Derbyshire today to pick up a new project for Max, the guy is having a clear out and he pulled a couple of old aircraft electrical items out of a drawer. Can anyone shed any light on what they were from and of course if they have any value (he did ask!).
They are
Controler Electric Type 3, 10J/26.
and
Switch unit (5 switchs in a row), 5C/545.
No we don’t have any photo’s, we didn’t have a camera with us, we are just trying to help someone out.
Thanks as always in advance,
Ritch and Max.

Great news for Max then….
Hopefully the ‘other’ project will also be able to be collected next weekend

Terry,
That one is actually the one for the SCR-522 / TR5043. It has a W-connector, I think the one for the TR9 has a Jones connector, as does the one for the TR1196.

Was it like these? If so then TR9 (Spitfire and others), I think!

Hi John
The guy had a very original / as removed from the aircraft Seahawk panel, it has about half the original instruments fitted and all of the original pipework still installed. There is also quite a lot of electrical wiring and the rear support structure. He remembers seeing it at Staravia many years ago, and thought it interesting so bought it. It has sat in his garage, untouched since and has been through 3 house moves!!!
Max is thrilled because the Seahawk was the very first aircraft he ever worked on aged about 12, when he worked on the ex Flambards airframe on Nev Martin’s pan at Bruntingthorpe. He used to take his sandwich’s and pop and sit and have his lunch sat on top of her, it was also the very first airframe we worked on together when I was recovering from my first heart attack. He has been looking for a Seahawk panel for years but never found one at a price he could afford till yesterday. From first phone call to getting it home from Debyshire was only about 3 hours!! That’s the way to do deals!!!
Also looking forward to collecting the other new project from you next week, that represents another of the airframes we worked on together at Brunty in the very beginning!!!
Ritch.

Thanks Yerry and Andy
Yes that’s the switch unit we saw. The other item was a vertical unit with a row of buttons on it, I didn;t take that much notice as we were more interested in Max’s new project that we went to collect. The guy isn’t an aviation enthusiast, but had some bits he had accumulated over the years and is having a clear out.
Anyway, thanks both,
Ritch.

That’s a ‘general purpose’ switch, used to switch 12v or 24v to equipment. They came in variants with 1,2,3,4 and 5 toggles.
