MISCELLANEOUS PARTS

Coil No 24 and coil No 27
 

Coil No 24 was used in the Mark 1 200 series in the early 1930's. Now pretty rare. Few only

£10.00 each


Coil No 27
was used in the Mark 2 200 series, and most of the 300 series British Bakelite telephones of the 1930's, 40's and 50's.

£5.00 each

 

Coil No 21
 New old stock Can be used to replace the long coil in a No 25 and 31  bell set.

Ideal if you are restoring a No 1 wood bell set and need a coil to replace a missing or faulty No 14 or 18 coil. You will need to make a suitable adaptor to mount it. A small rectangle of thin plywood or aluminium should do the trick.

£28.00 each  Very last few

 

Special Terminal Nuts and washers. 3BA size, 4BA thread. These fit the terminal blocks inside the 232 or 162 telephone

Diaphragm both types 12 and 25. The No 12 diaphragm is intended to fit the 1L receiver, and the 25 the 2P.
The diaphragm fits on top of the receiver. If yours is rusty, it is worth changing it.

I have workshop facilities at Battlesbridge and stock some spares in the shop. Spares in the shop are only available "over the counter" when I am in attendance. See below.

  • Spares are available by mail order. For most small parts, post and packing is £3.00 1st class to UK only.
  • Payment for mail order spares is by credit/debit card only.

Most spares are second-hand and vary in quality from "as seen" to "reconditioned".

"Reconditioned" means a part which has been overhauled to working condition. It does not necessarily mean overhauled to new condition. Please call me to clarify.

All spares are subject to availability. Please enquire about any parts not listed, I may have them.

I endeavour to keep to the above prices, but they are liable to change without notice
