Found this little boxed gem recently, looks like it has never been used!

Wow! That's a rarity! Crystal controlled too, from the looks of it. Most UK single channels transmitters of that era weren't!

I remember Mick Wilshere telling me about tuning up an old valve carrier-wave Tx in his garage and watching his neighbour across the road getting up and slapping his TV every time Mick keyed it! :lol:

Lovely looking transmitter! Now you need to find the matching "Magic Carpet" receiver...
