- Notes
-
Probably 80 x Zinc Carbon Cells. It's a 120V pack tapped for 111V HT and -9V grid bias.
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.
Equivalents: Ever Ready Winner 120GB, Drydex H1118, GEC BB729, Oldham K675, Siemens HG120
The L5038 is identical but without the 9V tap
Weight is an estimate!
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.
