Rod Palmer in Bridgend, South Wales, has an Eddystone 840C (AC/DC) receiver for sale.

The receiver is complete with power connector plug (no lead) and although not tested recently it was working when returned from a final spell at sea.
There is some superficial rust staining to the rear vent panels and other minor rust specks/areas to other parts of the cabinet (see pics). Detailed close-ups of all areas of the cabinet can be provided to any interested parties. Although the rear panel screws move freely, we’re unwilling to try to remove the rear panel due to interference from minor rusting so cannot comment on, or photograph, the interior. It is normally stored in what appears to be the original cardboard shipping case within a stout, custom-made canvas tote with rope handles. Price: £195. If you are interested contact Rod on
Nick Van Vonno in Melbourne, Florida finally located a S.659/670 to replace the one he let get away a long time ago. It was shipped from UK and arrived in pretty good shape, but one of the handles was broken off. This involved breakage of both screws, which Nick considers was a carefully thought out way of limiting the damage to the front panel. The handle on Nick’s set is not damaged, however he can’t locate the two brass replacement screws so is appealing for help from the Eddystone User Group to find him some. If you can help Nick contact him on nvv@cfl.rr.com
