Phil G4OBK in Pickering, North Yorkshire is helping the family of Malcolm G3KEV of Scarborough who went Silent Key last month at the age of 87 dispose of his amateur radio equipment gear. The money raised is going to the Yorkshire Air Ambulance Service and Phil is on his way to raising at least £2000 from the sale of Malcolm’s gear for the charity.

Phil is offering an Edometer S902 Mk2 in excellent condition, complete with carry box, the seven coils and the original manual (see pic – more photos are available from Phil). Phil has checked to see that the PP3 battery had previously been removed and that there was no contamination inside the unit.

He fitted a new PP3 and checked that the unit does function as a signal generator. He also checked that the fixed 1000 Hz audio tone output was available on the right-hand side headphone socket but he hasn’t tested the other unit functions.

Bearing in mind that the proceeds are going to charity, Phil is inviting bids for this item and has put a deadline of Saturday November 4^th for anyone wishing to make an offer for this historic Eddystone Item, without which no Eddystone collection would be complete. If you are interested in making an offer or wish for more details contact Phil by e mail on cq@yorkshirewalker.co.uk  UK delivery only unfortunately. Shipping can be arranged via Royal Mail 48 tracked for £7 but collection from Pickering is also acceptable.

David Griffiths in Harrow has a very nice looking 840C For Sale. David says it is in very good condition for its age and working as it should. It is too heavy to post securely so it must be collected from his  address in Harrow. He is  asking £140. If you are interested contact David via e mail davidg1950@hotmail.com 

Pete Williams VK3IZ in Brisbane 4034, Australia is going into residential care and has an Eddystone 750 receiver he would like to sell to someone  who can make  a  sensible offer  and who can also organise collection or a courier. Pete can be contacted via email  jupete@internode.on.net 

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

The prospective purchaser can come and view and collect or she can deliver locally as far as say Bristol for the cost of the fuel.

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
