Hi, Vacuumlanders,
I'm refurbishing the Bendix radios and intercom ("interphone") from a
WW2 Lancaster bomber that we are rebuilding for static display at the
Canadian Air & Space museum, Toronto.

Great sutff!

I've sat in front of a T1154/R1155 combo in a static display, it would have
been nice to be able to fire it up!

I bought a new (still with the RAF stores tags) "bathtub" morse key from
a firm in Essex, England, who told me they had loads of cables and connectors
and Lanc parts, even spare engines. *Sadly I can't remember their name :-( *
It was nearly 30 years go...

The future was never like this!

Yes Lancaster; that was a typo/senior moment cos we had a Lanchester
car also!
And had a T1154 at one point in a big wooden box; cost 30 shillings
brand new and unused in early 1950s, IIRC.
Also an 1155A . All that in the basement workshop in Liverpool.
probably learned a lot from that war surplus gear.
Then spent 40 years in telecommunications! !952 to 1992.
Still have a few types of UK valves here and dabble occasionally.
Good luck with the Lancaster project.
BTW, do seem to recall the Bendix TA12; with preset numbers appearing
in little windows in front panel?
