Hi Slider, yes, British telecom. I worked in airport comms systems in the 70's, and there were racks of these used for audio network switching. Very reliable. I measured the 5k coil at 19 Henries inductance. Taking a wild stab at the self capacitance, I estimate the coil's self resonance would be about 2kHz, so with the germanium detector, would make it a very sensitive receiver at VLF frequencies - IF we were assuming that conventional reception is how this operates, which is unlikely. Thanks for the datasheet. I havent seen one of these since those old days. Heres a photo of the coil. This one has 2 windings. JEFF Attached Image (viewed 8037 times):
