On offer is a quality 5mH HF choke with a DC resistance of 50Ω, which is manufactured by Watmel of Edgeware in England and dates from the late 1920s / early 1930s. This choke is mentioned in a construction item in the May 1930 copy of Amateur Wireless magazine and is illustrated in the 1929 / 1930 R Cadisch & Sons Radio and Components catalogue, with the relevant page shown in photograph 12. I also have copies of the catalogue offered for sale in my listings.

It is about 3.50 inches high; the base measures about 2.00 inches diameter, and the choke is mounted by two screws.  The connections are to screw terminals on the base and top of the case moulding. 

I have listed this as a 5mH choke, but the precise inductance 6.235mH and DC resistance 54.2Ω are shown in photographs 10 and 11 as measured on a Peak LCR40 component analyser [for info].

This is an ideal opportunity to obtain one of these chokes from the late 1920s / early 1930s, which are becoming more difficult to find, to use as a replacement in a restoration project or a choke in a home constructed project.

It is in new and unused condition, which can better be seen from the photographs which are of the actual Watmel HF choke on offer for sale.

This has been priced to sell without reserve.
