My first Eddystone   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #16 of 1746 |
I have just taken delivery of my first Eddystone, a 730/4. The name
plate on the front has the following additional information:- ZA51262,
Serial No. 627, Manufacturer STR/QJ. It's in fairly good condition but
has a problem - the tuning drive is slipping. When I turn the tuning
knob sometimes the tuning moves but most times it does not.

I've had a quick look at the set but cannot see how to remove the
front panel to gain access to the drive mechanism. I remember, in my
youth, servicing Marconi signal generators and how difficult they
could be if a manual was not available.

So, can anyone give me a hint on how to remove the front panel please?

Regards

Mike
