FERGUSON 203U

NOTES |
Ferguson made some nice radios before the war, but post war they were fairly
dull, with the exception of this rather nice two-tone set. This set is a
"midget" second set but still filled with proper octal valves;
there is no space for a mains transformer and the heat of a dropping resistor
would not be tolerated in such a crowded cabinet and so the set relies on
a dreaded resistive mains lead. |

SERVICE DATA | There was a copy of the "Trader" service sheet 820 on CD#1 | |
CURRENT STATE | Very small repaired chip in the back of the case, but I don't trust the resistive mains lead which has been gaffer-taped in places. | |
WHERE FOUND | BVWS June 2003 Wotton Bassett mega-event for £45. |
Wot no interior view ? Nope, need to buy a nut spinner (ouch!)
as the chassis retaining screws are recessed into the
case and I can't get 'em undone.
