Richard G8MWQ has been restoring a recently purchased EC10 Mk 1 which was in a pretty poor state. The first thing he noticed was the frequency scale was badly damaged. There were sufficient markings left to allow him to redraw the scale using a software package called Eagle CAD. The redrawn scale was mirror printed onto a piece of Inkjet Printable A4 Clear/Transparent Vinyl Glossy Self Adhesive Sticker from Amazon, this was then attached to the rear of the original glass (after cleaning off the remaining silk screen print), Richard attached the PDFs to a recent EddystoneUserGroup forum e mail so I have added them to the restoration section of the website. Richard say please make sure that when printed the horizontal scales are 250mm length. He also say that note, the writing is black which shows up remarkably well against the grey background, as CMYK printers cannot print white this was considered suitable. – Chris G0EYO

However web-sites don’t come for free and we have just paid our annual ISP bill and have also recently paid to have the Yahoo forum transferred to Groups.io. We are fortunate to be able to fund the website and the maintenance of the archives through generous donations from our users, so we rarely need to make a direct appeal.  However with recent expenses this is probably a good time to make such an appeal. So, if you have found this website useful, and would like to make a contribution to its upkeep you can make a donation via paypal using account donations(at)eddystoneusergroup.org.uk  ( replace (at) with @) marking the payment as gift to avoid paypal charges. Alternatively you can do a bank transfer, so contact our EUG Patron, Chris Pettitt G0EYO via e mail g0eyo(at)blueyonder.co.uk  and he will send you instructions on how to make a donation.

Rod Palmer in Bridgend, South Wales, has an Eddystone 840C (AC/DC) receiver for sale. This was family owned from new and operated by one of the World’s last deep sea salvage divers as his window on the World during long spells at sea. 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
