Hi there. The Toko IFTs are tapped primary (tuned) and low impedance (untuned) secondary. They should work on their own, but gain and selectivity would ...

Hi Paul For my money the Dunstable Downs car boot sale is one of the best events left on the calendar. Its a car boot sale with largely hams selling to other...
Hello Paul, Your reference to 'old radios' leaves a big question: do you mean domestic RXs as you will see in fair quantities at the NVCF (I have visited this...
Just had delivery of a 1570, which some may have seen on eBay. Much better condition than expected, quite a nice radio apart from nasty audio which is probably...
Use Sticky Stuff Remover, it's available from several sources, and is based on orange products. You just apply the liquid, let it soak in, and then gently rub...

Received a 670 variant the other day. Marked on slide rule dial as 2245A so the MIMCO clone, but has circuit of 670, twin o/p valves, in a slide rule dial 670A...
Hello Ben, A strange mixture, these mimco variants. All were Eddystone lookalikes and some were the same inside but many were quite different within! As far...
Indeed, this set has what appears to be a 670 cct, but with the magic eye of the 670A as well. Ben. ================================================= In a...
With this latest addition here having a plate stating "Cabin Tuner Unit Type 2245A" I am wondering just how it was fed from the ships aerial? Obviously each...
In my experience and depending on the type of vessel most crew cabins at least would have had a co-ax socket with a distribution amplifier in the radio room or...
Its strange though John, considering it was a 'cabin' set that Eddy did not put a coax socket on the rear but left the bannan plug type connectors. Unless,...
Ben very true, I am not sure about the origin of the co-ax plug when did it become the norm? If the co-ax was not common during the late 1940's perhaps a hard...
They probably used a system similar to the Belling-Lee Sky-rod. I/we installed a lot of these in the 1940's. The aerial had a matching transformer which...
