Acquired two Eddystones an 830/4 (120 kcs to 30 mcs.) and an 770R (27
mcs to 165 mcs.)

The dial cords of both are intact but both have come off the various
pulleys and guide wheels etc.

At present time am taking the front off them in order to put dial
cords back on but also to clean and restore these radios which are now
some 50+ years old.

Any advice comment welcomed.

Cheers.

The second listing when I plugged Eddystone 830/4 into Google is a pdf
article, with photos, about restoring this receiver. If it doesn't
come up for you, go to www.eddystoneusergroup.org.uk and search for
the model. The article is by Gerry O'Hara.

Good luck!

Terry,
I have an 830/4 here, and the manual. If there's anything you need
scanned or whatever, let me know.
Cheers,
Nelson

Many thanks for the feedback from Avery and Nelson.
I have a good 'copy' of the manual for the 830/4 that came with the
Rx.
And yes I've seen that article by Gerry O'Hara. Very informative.
But I may need some help later! So thanks indeed for the replies.

I have saved, I think, a copy of the the manual (or at least a link
to) the manual for the 770R but it's in an unusual format. So waiting
for my son to return in a week or two, to help me print it.

I also have an 840C. (That's an AC?DC model with a chassis isolated
from the cabinet). It's off a Canadian Coastguard icebreaker and in
'hard shape'. But at least it has a case!

Neither the 830 pr 770 have a cabinet! So in the extremely unlikely
event of seeing/hearing about one; please advise.
In meantime know a local tinsmith of above average ability who will
make 'partial cabinets' to cover top and rear.

Cheers. terry
