Spares for Eddystone Receivers

Ian Nutt M0ECQ provides a not- for -profit spares service using genuine spares that were bought from the factory in the 1980s. Ian has  a range of parts: IFT’s, Mains TX’s, coils, hardware etc. etc, including a complete front end in good condition. He  also provides spares from scrap sets that come into his possession. His stocks are not in-exhaustive and it can take time to find items even though he has now got an inventory of items which you can download (see below). Ian is contactable on iandcnutt@msn.com. Although semi- retired he is sometimes unable to respond immediately to requests. He asks for your patience. When contacting Ian Nutt please use email as the primary medium. If this is not convenient please write to:

EA12 Meter Spares

Ian has had EA12 spare meters especially manufactured to satisfy the need for these items which usually have a cracked front window. The prices are actual costs: no mark up.

Meter complete £50.65
Scale £8.78
Front plastic window £7.15
Grey shadow to cover movement £0.25

Post and packing will be added.

Other Eddystone Meters

I also have a small number of “new old stock – NOS” meters for a range of other receivers i.e. the 770U and 770R, 830, 940 etc and some suitable for some of the transistorised models such as the EC958 – contact me for further information.

Tuning Spindles.

Comprises:

* Tuning spindle in a hardened steel
* Bush assembly incl backplate and BA screws. Bush is complete with oil hole
* Pinch rollers, spring, adjusting nut and set screw

These are priced at £35.00 each plus £2.50 for P&P (actual cost of manufacture)

Please note these are precision made to close tolerance and each spindle is matched to its bush to give optimum feel.

 

Also:

830 Fingerplates.

A new batch now  available. These are £20.00 each plus £3.00 for P&P (again this represents the actual costs involved)

Note: Prices for the spindle set and fingerplate will be set to recover the actual costs involved.

Finger Plates

I have had a number of new fingerplates made for the EA12 and 830 receivers.  The 830 plates are suitable for all marks except the /4 (which has a tuning lock and would require the drilling of some extra holes but that should be easy if you have access to a basic workshop kit). They are as close as possible to original and should be a direct replacement.

830 Fingerplates.

The original batch of remanufactured fingerplates proved popular and have all been sold. A new batch is being manufactured and should be available in the next few weeks.

NEW 640 Scale plates are no longer available: all have been sold and there is a very low level of demand so it is unlikely more will be made.

Replacement Switch Wafers (NEW)

Ian has advised me that he has quite a sizeable stock of component parts for the switch wafers commonly used on Eddystone receivers and has the necessary tools for forming the hollow rivets used to hold the various parts in place. Ian tells me he may be able to repair other switch wafers for Eddystone users, (but he can’t guarantee it will always be possible). Ian proposes the following procedure for those interested in this service

  • Interested persons should contact Ian by email ( iandcnutt@msn.com ) first and send him a photo of the wafer in question
  • If it looks repairable or replaceable Ian will ask the person to send the wafer to him
  • Ian  will then either make a replica from new parts or repair the old, whichever seems most appropriate, as long as this is possible from the parts he has.

Ian also have quite a few original NOS wafers in various style including for some of the more modern sets, so it is worth checking with him if you need a replacement

Ian also has a number of spares from three 730/4 receivers that have recently been dismantled. These were inherited from Dave Simmons in a partial condition they had gone too far to be worth rebuilding.
