A very neatly organized site. I have
just acquired an 1830/1 and I am looking for a manual. Receiver works but the audio seems rather raspy. Will be checking the PSU filter caps for a start. Cheers from Montreal Canada |

Well Done! Website now seems to be
working pretty well (though for some reason I have difficulty with

I came across the Eddystone User Group
some years ago after acquiring an ex Canadian Coastguard RX. Have great admiration for the efforts of Graeme and all the others so loyal to 'Things Eddystone. Thank you. A technical tip that might help? I corresponded to a discussion last year, if I remember correctly, posed by a member about switch/contacts that seem to 'go open' for no apparent reason. I postulated, on the basis of experience and standard practice in the telphone industry that audio and other switch and relay contacts that switch audio but do not carry a DC current (even of a few microamps) do have the potential* to build up sufficient surface corrosion to go open (or "Dis" as e used to say). I have recently had the same problem with the noise limiter switch (and previously) with an identical Hi/Lo (That's American spelling chaps) switch of a 50 year old Hallicrafter. Neither of these perfectly normal toggle switches, mounted through the front panel of the Hallicrafter, carry any DC the attched circuts involve isolating capacitors and both switches have gone open; at different times. Removed and tested with 'real current' (DC or AC) the toggles are OK! In fact I'll possibly, due to it AC rating, use one as replacement for the plastic handled one on my 115 volt AC shop vacuum. So just thought I'd mention it. While we are probably used to the idea of cleaning rotary switch (Yaxley type?) band change switches etc. the insides of a simpler SPST toggle switch is hidden. Warm regards to all Eddystone lovers. Terry PS* That word "potential" was an unintended pun! |

Was employed at the bath tub late
1950's, worked on and saw S358 ,/ 400, S440 VHF radio telephones, S504,
S640, S659 / 670, S680, S730, S740, S750, S770R and U, also rare S770H,
S820, S880 (30 bands High Stab) and possibly other s inc. IMR large
cabinet believe may have been designated S710 but long time ago. Own
an S740 with correct loud speaker and shell S meter. Over the many years have collected and currently use most of the individual components manufactured for Radio Amateurs. I recall Eddystone amateurs: G5JU, G6XJ, G2CLN, G3ANN, G2XN, G5SS, G3AYW, possibly others, and G5BJ whom I encountered elsewhere. Best wishes GW3MHW, only use cw app 50 watts these days. |

Hi I had the fortunate pleasure of working at the Bath Tub between 1963 and late 1967, initially as a student placement from college and ten as a production line worker final test assistant with Pat Jennings before leaving and working abroad. The firm always ahd a great "familiy" feel to it. Also remember Bill Cooke, Harold Cox et al. Do you have info on their present situation as I have lost touch with past colleagues. I found this site after spottig a mention in this months P/Wireless. I did find some mention ofEddystone on the friend reunited site. All the best |

Interesting site. I own an Eddystone
940 that is in good condition. It has the angled plinth complete with a
built in speaker. However, it does not get much use these days. I have
downloaded the Lighthouse Newsletters, I shall spend some time reading
them. 73 Mike G8VHB |

Well produced site. Iam very
interested in learning more about the wartime history of Eddystone.
Particularly the research and production that went into the making of
the radiowhich I gather was used to actually commence Operation
Overlord. Best regards John |

Just discovered this site and the

What an absolutely fascinating site.
As a collector of Eddystones for many years and an EUGer, I found the
wealth of information now openly available on the site quite amazing. I
had been concerned that the last issue of the Lighthouse magazine might
have heralded the demise of EUG. Now I think the new web site will
stimulate a new and interesting period of growth for those interested in
Eddystone Radio. Well done and thank you to everyone concerned. Ian G3ZDQ Ian Flemming EUG |

| Roy W. Badrock VK3ARY |
A very interesting WEB site. I wonder
if the Group has ever considered producing a CD containing the
information on your site such as the manuals, Newsletters etc., as
downoading such lare amounts of information using a standad 56K modem
would take for ever (we don't all have the luxury of broadband
connections). I am sure that there would be quite a bit of interest here
in Australia for such a CD and the Group could make some money as well. There were quite a lot of Eddystone receivers sold out here in years gonebuy and they are quite collectable. I have 690X and a 830/7 both of which are still going well. Keep up the good work. |

Thank you for the “excellent”
Eddystone User Group web site and everyone involved in establishing this
site, for all the hard work providing everyone access to these wonderful
pieces of Eddystone equipment, history and technically data, look
forward to more achieve material. I miss the issues of Lighthouse packed with easy to understand language and archive bits and pieces. A big thank you to Graeme Wormald G3GGL for all his hard work and always very helpful, wishing him a well earned retirement. |

Hello, a very nice site you have here.

This site has become, in a very short

know anything at all about Eddystone sets. I compliment all concerned
in its production and wish the site every success and a long life! In terms of a donation, I intend to modify my current annual standing order to the EUG and continue to make a regular donation to the site. It's worth every penny! Thank you all once again and 73, Phil G4SPZ |

As an Ex Employee of Eddystone Radio
1958 until December 1959, I would like to congratulate you all for the Hard Work involved in creating this excellent WebSite. I have been a subscriber for a number of years to the Eddystone Lighthouse E.U.G. and would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to those Stalwarts who gave us such enlightened information about all that was EDDYSTONE RADIO. It is not unlike loosing a member of a very close family. My Late Father A.L.Harris was the Accountant for the Laughton Group which included Eddystone Radio and travelled each week with the wages for the Eddystone employees. (Between Warstock and West Heath.). Security in those days was minimal.!!!!!! Very Best Wishes for the Website. |

Very sorry that the Lighthouse has
been doused but the reasons are well understood, many thanks for the
hard work by all those involved. First reaction to the webb site after a quick flash through is that it does have one very real advantage, that being the ability to put all members in a position to communicate quickly and easily with views and comments. Well done the team and may the venture go from strength to strength. Colin Grove |

Thanks for putting this site on and
sorry as an ex member to see EUG close, but also fully understood after
all the work put in . Everyone deserves a break ! I only dropped my
membership due to work pressure sand still maintain an interest in
Eddystones ( and still have my ex Hanslope Park 1970 EC958 analogue
which allegedly Eddystone said was the best receiver they made ) All the Best 73 Larry G4GZG |

| Alex Garner | Hi guys, just fulfilled a dream from my teenage years in the 1960s and got hold of an 840C. I used to be a short wave addict building various receivers and ATUs, fiddling about with 19 and 38 sets and long wire/whip aerials etc. The Eddystone range wasout of my league financially of course but I could drool over them...and now I have one to set about with care and attention. Just about to cruise your great looking website and get orientated. Best to all, Alex | 04-Apr-06 |
| Ben G4BXD | Great start, look forward to future developments. Ben G4BXD. | 04-Apr-06 |

| Roger Roycroft G1NXV | A splemdid start to a life for Eddystrone on the Web and many congratulations to all those involved. Only one minor complaint - the Eddystone watermark background on the scrolling pages makes them far less easy to read, could we possibly lose it? | 03-Apr-06 |
