Hello;
I’ve just taken possession of a mint EB35 MK1 radio that appears to have an electrical issue.
The transformer in the 924 power supply seems to be leaking and shows signs of burning.
Can you let me know of a replacement or provide me with the specifications of the transformer used int the 924 power supply.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to your earliest convenient response.

I have the 740 Eddystone from which I detached the front end some years ago so that I could fit a replacement dial and finger plate. I have all the bits and pieces from when the dismantling took place but I cannot remember which bit goes where ! Could someone please help me overcome this problem ? Thank you. Bryan. M3HZV
3Bryan, there are some good articles in the Restoration Section of the website. One on Eddystone dials and drives plus an article on restoring a 740. You might find what you are looking for there.

6I have held on to an Eddystone 840A since 1955 when at sea.
There is an identical model on EBay for £20. I would be pleased to sell, at same price, to any buyer who can arrange collection at Moffat, Scotland, within say the next 6 months. (Location 1 mile from junction 15 M74)
The power cord is adrift but it was working fine when last used some years ago.
The black case is a little worn but in acceptable condition.

7Hey guys. I’m in the US and I’m looking for an 820 FM tuner. Even an S 930/2 would be nice, but I understand those are very rare.
Cheers,
Don Forbes
8Don I have put a wanted ad on the site for you. Let me know if you have any luck. Chris G0EYO

Hi Chris,
I’ve contacted Nigel. I’ll keep you posted.

11Hello , I am about to start to build an Eddystone AW-2 regen receiver , I see it uses a 1uf+1uf capacitor ( 2 capacitors in one case ) , as this type is very difficult to get hold of, could I just use 2 x 1uf caps with both negative leads to earth ? or any other suggestions ?
12Many thanks
Chris G4UDG.
You will occasionally see them for sale on E bay if you want authentic old style caps. No reason why you cant use two 1uF caps instead if authenticity is not the aim. Regards.Chris G0EYO
