I am a member and moderator of several other Yahoo groups and we are all having a spot of bother with Yahoo at the moment. This mostly manifests itself in...
Sorry, but due to adverse spam (but not from list members I hasten to add), I've decided to put my '958 on e bay to give some control to the proceedings. This...
That is really sad about the spam - I know what you mean as I have also received similar content. As an alternative to EBay or posting on this forum there is...

I will hopefully soon receive the last valve for my S870, the 19AQ5. Because some of the PSU parts were missing (mains ballast resistor, thermistors and mains...
Hi Nick, Tor Martinsen (Lighthouse 90 p30) suggests that the main purpose of the thermistor in these sets is to protect the dial lamps. In the article, Tor...

Hi, I've just joined the group as well, Lou where are you in the world? I bet you are miles away from England! I've got a case for a 670, in fact I've got a...
John Lou is right about not including bulbs in a 110v heater chain which needs little in the way of a dropping resistor. The essential purpose of the...
John, you are quite right! I am a fool, I didn't read the 19aq5 datasheet properly and I guess the 35w4 at all... I assumed (emphasis on the ass here) that...

I have just purchased a 730/4 with a displaced drive cord. When I finally managed to get the front panel off I discovered that the drive cord is completely...
Hi Nick, The type of thermistor used for inrush protection is NTC high resistance cold - lower when hot, I've got a feeling somewhere in the garden shed there...
I'm afraid a PTC is not the same thing, as it works the opposite way round. A thermistor starts as a high resistance and goes lower as it heats up. I.e. it...
Sorry, but this class of device has a steep positive temperature coefficient: it quickly appears open circuit from an initial low resistance. This is opposite...
Hi Amanda, Thank you for your reply. If you find a thermistor, please let me know! In the meantime I shall explore alternative modern devices. I have seen...
Hi Nick, Yes, I'll remove it from it's case, it's in need of a bit of TLC anyway having been stored unused in my house for the last 2 years! Regards Amanda ......

Hello All, Does anyone know if particular models were available in more that one color? For example, I have a 670 that is brown. Did all 670's come in brown or...
