Interesting! Did you see the 830 for sale on Ebay recently (Item #230012186251) that apparently did not sell? – I was amazed nobody bid on it at 10 pounds...
Hello Graeme, Here are the other photos that were on the Ebay advert. It certainly looks like an 830 inside and out – note the incremental tuning on photo 3...
Hello Gerry; I bow to your identification! It goes to show how wrong you can be without being able to see the details! It is of course an 830 (even if...

Hello Jeff, Eddystone knobs are a mixed bag! My 990R has very dark grey (black at a glance)with silver skirts and centres . . . I've never seen one with...

Hello! It all depends on which era you are looking at. They made HF RXs fom 1925 to 2002. Naturally the last (6200) was the best (!). Otherwise the EC 958...

Hi, The 680x was the top of the range 1951-61, a set for the professional. The EA12 was an all-valve double superhet 1964-69, top class on all bands (old...
Hi, I've a 680x that is as close to original as I can get it - agree with the comments on which era you are looking at Eddystone made radios for a long time...
Yes, I was mistaken on the EC10. I was meaning the EC10, and obviously this is a lower model, whereas EA12 is high end. Yeah - I only had one Eddystone, and it...
