ECN Forum Forums Photo Discussion Forums Electrical Nostalgia Another Restoration Project

I'm a time served electrician of 15 years (HOW LONG) and having just found this board and spent days reading the previous posts thought you might like to see one of my smaller restoration projects. I picked it up at a local fleemarket for a few pounds along with a small electric motor which I'll use to teach my children.

The set itself has no Identification on it and I can only estimate very roughly the age (maybe c 1910-1925) and is probably a homebrew kit. The coil has a label on it which states Edison Bell london with 35 printed in the middle of the red bell. The four posts below the tuner are for the head phones, top left is aerial and top right is earth. The crystal and 'catswhisker' are missing but that can be overcome with a germanium diode till I can replace them.

Sorry about the poor quality of the pictures but my other projects take most of my funds so I'm stuck with a cheap camera just now. I'll submit some pictures of my 1954 generator control box and some of the other juicy bits as well as soon as I can get some decent shots.

Thank you for letting me post,
