Communications,  Test Equipment & Interesting things….

Here we have a selection of vintage goodies that do not really fit into our other sales pages.   One off items of interest to radio and maybe in the future audio enthusiasts.   Most things are as found but a full description of their working state will be included.   Some items will be serviced and come with our standard six month return to base warranty. 

Vintage and modern communications equipment,  test equipment for your workshop,  useful bulk components and all those kinds of things.    This page will not be updated as often as our main overhauled and diy radios for sale part of the site.

Epoxy resin anyone?  This is what happens when you refuse to replace your valve radios grid coupling capacitors!

C1970  Eddystone EC10 MK2  Receiver


What we have here is the much improved Mk2 version of the classic Eddystone EC10 receiver.  Mk2 has a much better vfo,  with fine tuning control,  an improved IF stage and better all round stability.   This one has had the full works,  all the dodgy transistors have been replaced and it set up properly.  As a stand alone receiver with a built in speaker,  battery operated it it's a pleasure to drive.   Don't expect it to complete with a Racal RA17 on SSB but if you back down the RF gain a bit,  experiment with the AGC then you should be able to resolve signals without much effort.  Condition wise this is all very smart and the battery compartment is corrosion free.    Has the usual counterbalanced silky smooth tuning drive.   The dial is pretty accurate too.    Oh the other thing is it has an S meter! 
 
Batteries required are a set of 8 D Cells.   A set of alkaline types will last a long time.
Antenna  -   best option is to use an outdoors end fed long wire.
Frequency coverage  -  LW through to about 30 MHz.    AM, CW,  SSB
Price  £175   Fully overhauled  UK delivery   £12   EU etc,  just ask.

A little bit of BBC monitoring back in the 1960's     Those were the days.   No heating required.
