This is the place to appeal for any manuals, machines, spares or whatever. Someone, somewhere out there probably has just what you want in their garage or under the bed. We start off with Ed Wooden, the BFI, TSWFTA and Chris Owen who collects old radio OB equipment. |
| Ed Wooden |
| Ed is trying to restore some bits of audio equipment - an MNA/3 PPM amplifier and a PTM/9 audio alignment box for an MNA/3. If anyone out there has the relevant circuit or Technical Instruction, he would be most grateful for a copy or loan so he can wire the PPM properly! |

Format machine to replay some valuable material which has been donated
to us.
In Sony terms these are EV200 and EV300 series machines - Philips & Ampex also made some equivalents but I am not too sure of the model numbers for these.... Any model would be grand. Should anyone have one that they are prepared to loan or donate then please could they contact me via my work email address (link below - as opposed to my private email as given in the credits). By the by we are also very grateful for anything else that anyone wants to throw out - we can even collect, particularly any spares or a set of manuals for my Zeus equipped VPR6 (which is my pride and joy...) and that I rescued last year from a scrap dealer! - cost me £300 & works perfectly but sadly came without manuals !!!! |

Chris writes: I collect old Radio OB equipment and
some (smaller) items of radio studiokit. I'm the owner of the microphones
and Midget disc recorders on Roger Beckwith's site.
I also do displays of
old BBC kit at vintage Radio shows when time and work allows. I would
one day like to open a small museum dedicated to radio OB's - possibly in
Bangor as so much output came from there during WW2 - or even
Evesham! What I wouldn't give now for a rummage round the old wooden
huts that have long since gone.Perhaps I should put my museum in a
wooden hut! Basically I'm looking for any older items of Radio OB or Radio studio equipment equipment. I have the beginnings of a 'wanted' pageon the link above. |
