Spares for Eddystone Receivers

You can sometimes find genuine spares for Eddystone receivers at the various Radio Rallies held throughout the country. However Ian Nutt M0ECQ has now taken over Dave Simmonds spares stock and is contactable on iandcnutt@msn.com. Ian is still in the process of cataloguing his inventory so it can take time to identify the items you are looking for and find them from his stock. He asks for your patience. When contacting Ian Nutt please use email as the primary medium. If this is not convenient please write to:

1) Finger Plates

I have had a number of new fingerplates made for the EA12 and 830 receivers.  The 830 plates are suitable for all marks except the /4 (which has a tuning lock and would require the drilling of some extra holes but that should be easy if you have access to a basic workshop kit). They are as close as possible to original and should be a direct replacement.

830 Fingerplates.
 
The original batch of remanufactured fingerplates proved popular and have all been sold. A new batch is being manufactured and should be available in the next few weeks.
 
Note: Prices for the spindle set and fingerplate will be set to recover the actual costs involved.

2) EA12 'S' meters
Items in the pipeline are new look-alike "S" meters for the EA12 and selected control knobs.
 
3) Eddystone Instruction Pamphlets.

These are original and are in good to mint condition. They are the leaflets that were issued when the sets were bought new and are printed on the traditional Eddystone glossy paper.

The following are available in reasonable numbers:

870A

710 "All World Six"

670A

888 (note not the A version)

820 (very limited numbers)

EB37

EB35 MkIII Issue 2, July 1976

670C

Each of the above is available post paid in the UK at 6.00 each. Overseas at extra charge.

4) Eddystone Handbooks: spiral bound documents, mostly with original grey/blue covers.

These are original as supplied with the equipment when purchased new.

EC10A2 Series (Covers A2/1, A2/2, A2/3)

EC10A/2

EC10A/2/RM

EC10A

B3905 B&W TV Monitor (A very rare piece of kit, built by Eddystone for Marconi)

The above are available in small numbers. All are good to  mint condition.

Price 12.50 each plus 2.00 P&P in the UK. Overseas at extra cost.

5)640 Scale plates, still available

Paul Clements and I have had some scale plates made for the S640 receiver:
Paul needed a replacement and I agreed to have a batch made at the same time so that they could be offered for sale to Eddystone users.

Thus I have a number of reproduction S640 scales available. They are screenprinted on a translucent acrylic material and look original: colours, layout and printing are virtually indistinguishable from the original.

They are available at a cost of GBR£9.00 each plus £2.50 for post and packing (in the UK: overseas at actual cost). This price is set to recover costs and does not include any profit.

Buyers will need to drill a central hole and four fixing holes: but this should be easily done. I have left the scales undrilled so that any variations in the originl scale can be accommodated.

I would be able to drill the scale for anyone for a modest additional cost provided they send me their original scale as a template.

I also have a number of spares from three 730/4 receivers that have recently been dismantled. These were inherited from Dave Simmons in a partial condition and I judged that they had gone too far to be worth rebuilding.

6)Remanufactured tuning spindles and bush.
 
I have commissioned a batch of tuning spindles and bush assemblies which will comprise:
 
*Spindle in a hard alloy steel
*Bush in phosphor bronze with oil hole
*Spring and pinch roller assembly with adjustable compression as per original
*Hardware
 
These are being precision manufactured to fine tolerance and will restore tuning feel
 
These will be available in the next few weeks.
