Martin Evans in Alton, Hampshire has an S640 receiver which he bought as a teenager in about 1970 and used through his school and university years. It hasn’t been powered on since cf. 1980 and has collected dust in his loft space until now. He recently moved house and decided that he was unlikely to have the skills or motivation to restore the set. Martin is looking to donate it to someone who will give it the care and appreciation that it deserves. As you can see from the pictures the set needs a good clean up but Martin says it was working when last used, and the mechanics of the stringing mechanism seems OK. There is some rust on the case and internal frame.
Given the weight of the set it would need to be collected or a courier organised by whoever collects it.
If you are interested in this generous offer then please contact Martin via email
Bart Slager is looking for information and parts for his EP961 which until recently was working OK then suddenly lost high tension. Unfortunately the high tension unit is fully encapsulated and he has been unable to source a replacement.
Bart thinks that if he knew the part number of the transformer and the pcb he might have better luck. However his copy of the manual doesn’t have the section with the part numbers for the transformers and pcb’s.
Therefore he is seeking help from;
– anyone knows these parts numbers
– anyone has any experience in repairing the unit
– anyone is ready for selling an EP961MkII-B in parts or complete
If you can help Bart contact him via e mail on bart.slager@gmail.com

Sue Thomas in Cardiff is selling her late father’s Eddystone S940 receiver. Sue says that the radio has been lovingly looked after and it certainly looks to be in excellent condition. However it has not been used for some years so there is no guarantee. Sue wants to find a good home for this much loved radio, so she is looking for offers. The prospective purchaser can come and view and collect or she can deliver locally as far as say Bristol for the cost of the fu
el. If you are interested in this receiver, Sue can be contacted on suethomas28@gmail.com
