B.S.A. WD charging set

History

Charging set E.D. 300 watt 30 volts

Having always wanted a spit/bang in the collection we jumped at the chance when a military charging set became available. The set was originally built in the 1950’s as a 12v unit identical to the WW2 version, then as military radios changed to 24v the generator was upgraded in 1960. Some time in the 1970’s it was put into storage along with at least 6 others, unfortunately due to poor maintenance regarding oil changing it was put into storage already seized.

We still have to source the 7 foot long flexible exhaust system.
