- Notes
-
On the "Winner" and "Portable" series the low voltage is a GB (Grid Bias) tap, not an actual LT (Low Tension filament) cell(s). Though some used with "All Dry" sets from 1939 (e.g. Portable 61) the LT would usually have been rechargeable Lead Acid 2V cell
Connection is by a socket at each end and flying leads with small plugs for + and - or various taps. None of this series use layer cells / "Biscuits", all use separate cells with connection wiring.
GB taps every 1.5V from -9V to 0V
HT taps start at +60V and are every 12V
Taller than the normal 76mm no doubt because of weight requiring re-inforced base as it contains 117 U10 / "B Cells" arranged 13 x 9. Weight based on scale wieght of similar packs.
Equivalents: Drydex H1066, GEC BB337, Oldham K664, Siemens 1182, Vidor L5008
