Headphones

[SiPo]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to find out what type of headphones were used for the SOE Type A MKIII suitcase radio?

If anyone can point me in the right direction of a source from which to obtain a set, I will be very grateful.

Also, can anyone tell me if this is the correct morse key for the Type A?

Rgds,

Hello morse key isn't the correct one , it's used with ground telephone
or a aldis lamp .
the phones are same like MCR1 biscuit receiver midget 36/1
they must be stamped in bakelite "multitone London " they differ from MCR1 only by plug , it must be a round one with a bigger pin , if your AMKIII set is original , you have the receptacle for this plug on it

Hi Pierre,

Many thanks.

AMkIII is original but unfortunately, no headphones with it.

Many thanks Ragnar. Superb collection you have there.

Apparently, a correct set of headphones and the correct key were sold together on ebay just 2 weeks ago......damn it!
