Description

Please be sure to review all my other auctions after you have looked at this one!  I will be listing a broad and diverse range of vintage communications and technology items, related books, periodicals and ephemera...  Something for everyone!
Here is a nice example of a hard to find loose coupler!  This is a petite Perkins Loose Coupler.   It is in very nice condition!  It is exactly as I found it...
This device has a base that measures about 12" x 3.5" x .5" and stands about 4.5" high at its tallest point.  The wooden support structure is finished in hand rubbed dark mahogany.
The unit is in great condition given how old it is!!  It shows some signs of its age, but not really noticeable.  Finish is original.   Primary and secondary windings are green covered wire, original and nice.  The secondary has a turned mahogany end which supports an five point contact to vary inductance.
There is an original Perkins knob which controls the secondary contact switch.
This item has aged correctly, with the normal surface changes you would expect.  The patina quite natural and inviting.
This unit is ready for your display as it sits!
I have tried to take good photographs, and they represent the condition accurately! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask...
If you are a collector of amateur wireless, loose couplers or Perkins gear, this item belongs with you!
Properly packaged to arrive safely at your door, this parcel will weigh about 3.5 pounds.
