Post by StevieBoy491 »

Hi All,
My first post on the forum, so please be gentle with me! I have taken a bit of advice and am led to believe that this is a Allcocks Aerial; Model 7950 type 3?
Regards
Steve

Who cares, it's a cracker.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Looks like a 3 if you take the spool off and show a photo of the rear flange it’s easy to confirm

It looks like a T3, the T2 had an ebonite rear flange. Is yours 3 or 3 1/2 inch?
