Thanks for the heads up! eBay do it as well. I no longer use ebay because of this. I use Firefox as my browser and clear it out regularly. Internet explorer...
Unfortunately not. They do it without your knowledge. Use Firefox specifically for ebay and clear all cookies after use. ... with it if ... Groups - ... Yahoo....
Well, with the assistance of Graeme and his spare coils I now have the AW4 working on 160, 80, 40 and 20 Mtrs. It would be nice to find the matching speaker...

Chris and Chris, What a good idea. I see there is a thumbnail photo of an EC10 on the 'Amateur Images' link at the bottom of the page. I have not looked into...
As only contacts have been from people who expect us to search for specific copies, and no interest shown in this collection of mags dating some from pre-war,...
Do we have ANYONE in the East of England who can collect and host these mags or at least store them until others are in that area ? It is just too far for me...
Hi Sacha, I had a bit of a chat with Ted at the Llandudno Rally last year and I think he said that he sometimes travels to the Llandudno area to visit...
Hi, I agree that it's a shame to bin these magazines, I'm in Birmingham and although it's a 214 mile round trip, if there's no other way I could travel over...

Thanks Graeme.... the set is beautifully stable as far as the local osc is concerned, it's the 85KHz BFO that's pulling. The burning question is R62,screen...
OK, Ian, I don't know if R62 is in the box or not . . . my advice would be to bite the bullet and carefully remove the whole of the V9 assembly and test...
I own one of these & have had my share of similar problems over the years. A review of my maintenance log for this receiver reveals the following: R62 is...
Hi Al, thanks for that.... I'll tackle it now! I monitored the 150v on the scope and althoug there was some variation with signal strength it was not a lot....
I would wholeheartedly agree with Al. My advice would be to replace everything except the mica capacitors (provided these look to be ok) whilst the box is off...
Took BFO out and, as suspected, C65 read 10pf.... as did all the other paper tubular caps. I'm surprised that I got any audio out with C112 at 10pf, but I...
