SERVICE DATA Nope :-( I'm intriqued as to how they generated a square-wave modulated carrier with just a single double-triode valve.
CURRENT STATE Pretty clean and working, the only minor fault being the tendancy for the tuning scale to stick in the middle for no obvious reason.
WHERE FOUND July 2003 Haydock park event for a fiver.

Chassis View [27K]H.T. Metal RectifierThe one and only valve - a 12AT7
The case is basically one large screened box. Even so, the
main circuitry is housed inside another metal box - inside
yet another metal box !!!
