I have an EA12 on the workbench undergoing a routine service. Initially it was rather insensitive on all bands - some more so than others. On measurement, it...
Good Evening Al, I no longer have an EA12 but your birdie probems don't ring a bell with me. I shall speak to Bill Cooke GW0ION, who was chief engineer at...
Thank you very much, Graeme. Now, before we go any further on this, please let me say this: I wasn't prepared to REALLY believe that this receiver originally...
Hello Al, back again, Ted rang me just as I was opening your last mail; so I've read it all to him. He agrees with Bill & I. He'd like to chat to you about...
Hello Al; Graeme here again. I've just had a long chat with Bill Cooke. His simple answer was "No, it's not a problem with the EA12, it's a fault!" The output...
Hi Graeme, I have four EA12's and none have the birdie problem Al seems to be afflicted with. Sounds to me as if the VFO is operating in a non linear fashion...
Hello Ian, A very curious situation that Al has on his hands. A previously unknown fault appears on different sets together! I don't think I can offer any...
Graeme - An interim response - for now. Fistly, thank you for your recent messages & thanks again to all the others who have provided input on this - on this...
Hi to all! For those following this saga - here's the latest update . . . . The heart of the trouble appears to be the 2nd. L.O. / VFO itself. (What a...

Hello again Al, My sympathies to you for this incredibly frustrating problem. There really must be something 'fishy' about two faults that only belong to you!...
Hi Graeme. "Only belong to you". Almost; not quite. Since I started seeking help with this problem - here and elsewhere - quite a few owners have come back to...
Dear Friends This is my first post to the forum and I need some help and advice with fitting a new drive cord on a 730/1A. I have restored many domestic type...
Hello Christian, A brief reply to your plea; it is almost impossible to answer most of the questions without the set concerned being on the bench in front of...
Hello Christian, The taper bolts are correct. If you need new I can supply some for you: email me directly please. It sounds as though one of the small jockey...
Thanks for the helpful hints regarding the drive cord. I have posted a couple of pictures in the photo section and I don't think that there is a pulley wheels...
Hello All I have got my 730 put back together well enough to do the normal power up check having replaced much of the previous bodged wiring. The set power up...

Hi Christian, The S-Meters issue you describe does occur on Eddystone valve sets. The problem is usually one of the resistors forming the bridge circuit...

Hi, I have just won an 888A on eBay and have to pick it up. Does anyone know the rough weight and size of such a beast? I only have a motorbike and am...
Hello Nick, Congratulations; you have one of Eddystone's nicest sets (old hambands only, of course). It measures 17" x 9" x 10" and weighs 44 lbs (20 kilos)....
