I purchased on Ebay an R1155 radio , it came with a power unit :-
Serial Number 310 10K/946. This unit was used to test Spitfire Radios, the unit is fitted with Jones Plugs one six socket that fits the power unit, the other one has eight sockets which fits the radio. R11155 I tested the output of the unit it was 365 volts DC. I understand that the R1155 operates on up to 260 volts DC.
I have not plugged the radio into the supply, but I am confused, if the unit came with the radio the previous owner must have used it. The set was purchased from someone who found it in an attic.
Can someone offer advice please?
