If you cannot find one John, consider the (easily reversible) mod that I have described in several of my restoration articles on the EUG site to replace this rare (and in my opinion unsafe) connector with a modern (IEC) type that you can obtain free from things like old computer psu’s – you can then use any 3-way mains cable having an IEC connector on one end.

Great Buy Terry

 

One sold for £395 on e bay recently although it did have the plinth and internals speaker with it. Let us know if you need to do any restoration work on it. Gerry O’Hara VE7GUH has two articles on restoring the 940 on our website.

Al,
 
The dial glass should be "glass", not perspex and should be about 3/16ths inch thick.
The glass should be retained at the bottom by the "lip" on the scale plate and by the top retainer which is adjustable by means of the small screws which you can see at the top of the front casting (the top retainer is white and also carries the scale lights)
Check the glass is the correct size: it is important that it is retained correctly otherwise it  can move in towards the scale plate and trap the cursor.
 
The cursor on this model should be a thin perspex strip with red lines scribed on both sides (this forms a parallax correction device). This should be fixed to the carrier by two small screws.
 
Check the cursor carrier is not bent/damaged and that the two carrier bars are straight

Al, I have spares for all the above parts if you need them (including glass but you can obviously source that locally): email me saparately if I can help.
 
73's,
 
Ian M0ECQ

I'm making good progress on my 830-7 project. I've replaced the damaged dial scales. Thanks Ian. Now I'm having trouble reassembling the thing. Can someone verify the proper thickness of the dial glass. My set has a piece of 1/4" Plexiglass (Perspex?) that seems to me to be overly thick causing clearance problems for the dial cursor.

Thanks,
Al

I have uploaded some photos to the forum of the S750 I restored for the Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada (‘SPARC’) earlier this year.  One of these photos shows the serial number plate and label identifying it is a 25Hz mains transformer model (it has a type 3739/IP mains transformer installed).  Note that the model is noted on the serial number plate as ‘S750’ (not ‘S750/1’ or ‘S750/2’).  The case on this set, along with its playmate speaker and S-meter have all been re-finished in black wrinkle-finish powder coat – hence the ‘factory fresh’ appearance.  Nice eh?

The 750/2 has a 25 cycle mains tranny (much of Canada used to run on 25 cps.)

I am trying to establish the difference between the S750/1 and S750/2. The /2 was supposed to be badged as the Marconi HR100 for an EUGer. We have an instruction leaflet for the S750 on the webste but cant be sure what the differences may be, if any. If anyone has a copy of the HR100 manual that they can scan for us it would be appreciated. Unfortunately we dont seem to have any S750 manuals in our hardcopy archive.

I note that the Marconi HR100 Data Sheet (aka S750/2 according to the QRG) has
recently been posted to the EUG site confirming that this model has the standard
110/240v 40 - 60Hz mains tansformer.
