Rod WA4MAO in Alabama, USA, has a 770R which he acquired some years ago in an auction and took apart to clean it up. It is available Free of Charge to anyone who can give it a good home. Rod had a car accident which meant he could not complete the rebuild so it was put in store for some years. The set worked OK when purchased but is now in bits. If you are looking for a project and would be interested in this set then contact Rod who is located in north central Alabama. The set can be picked up or Rod will ship for costs. Rod can be contacted on rodsdyno@gmail.com
The Eddystone go-to spares guy, Ian Nutt, M0ECQ, is selling some old parts which might appeal to restorers of vintage Eddystones. They are not guaranteed and the All Wave Choke part No982 (13-2000 metres) is slightly damaged internally but could probably be restored.
The 500-100Kc/s converter is apparently unused and comes in its original box. Ian would like them all to go to good homes!
Interested parties should email Ian directly on iandcnutt@msn.com
