Dunelt and Barnstormers

And here's the advert mentioned by 33d6, showing a gearbox that is not Sturmey Archer FW (fitted to most model Ks). I suspect it's also not the box in the Adelaide bike.

Any idea what it is? The bike is flat tank, so maybe 1926-7.

Hmmmm ?

It’s frustrating isn’t it. There are overtones of FW but not enough. Could it be a preproduction jobbie or a prototype FW. There’s not enough detail to tell.
The current Albion should be easy enough to identify from its makers number. Famous last words I know. Supposedly Albion only made two speeders up until 1926 when their first three speeder appeared. Could you locate the makers alphanumeric id number for us Leon? It’d be a great help.

No numbers, because the blipping thing is still high in the air. If I were doing anything with the bike, I'd just leave the gearbox as is, unless it was no good in which case a Sturmey Archer FW could go back in.

I'm pretty sure the gearbox in the Miller electrics illustration is also Albion, something like this one https://auctionet.com/en/3007648-albion-gearbox-england-1920-30s . If so, funny that it appears in an advert telling us that all Dunelts use Sturmey Archer 3-speed gearboxes.
