Not an Eddystone set!.

This UHF Receiver Radio No 34A was advertised as an Eddystone on E bay this week but careful detective work by our founder Ted Moore proved conclusively that it was not made by the famous company but by Hatfield Instruments. This is not the first time that these sets have been advertised on E Bay as an Eddystone as two were sold two or three years ago and ended up in our guide to Eddystone prices. Anyway this is what they look like no doubt the buyer will quickly realise that it is not what he thought it was. Thanks to Ron G8URU and Ted for sorting this one out for us.(13/5/08)

Edometers have been getting very good prices in the past 12 months. As much as £250. Someone got a bargain then when this one sold for £90 on bay this week.
