I see you also have an American organ. It looks very like the one I had for many years. It was made by the Estey Organ Company of Brattleborough Vermont if my memory serves me correctly. I had it for about 35 years and never learned to play it so I sold it on eBay with a starting price of 99 pence.
There was only one bidder so that's what it went for.

Hiya HMK
I can lend you a 405 line video tape and a channel 1 vhf sound/vision modulator, to work your telly, if you promise solemnly to return them ! That said, it would be surprising if the set shows a straight picture without some fettling to cap's, eg: in the sync sep section, hence the other forum Peter suggests being so useful - there's a chap on that forum based in Kilmarnock tagname murhpy v310 who will fix up the telly for very sensible money if you wish......
Again, that forum v.useful for help with car radios, especially wrt to the sixties sets, some of which have very moody transistors inside 'em, but are pretty fixable nonetheless. Plug plug the Vintage Wireless Co in Sale Chesh will retore all types and convert to VHF/FM and pop in an MP3 socket while he is at it !
I do not suggest the average tinkerer should play with valve car radios - 200v dc of ht (high tension) is bad news ! Stick with the trannie sets !!!!!!

Hi John & thank you for your very kind offer.
I've put all the old radio & telly stuff to one side for the time being but I'll get back to you when I start 'playing' again.
You're right about the picture - I can tell by the raster that the frame lin is well out of range of the adjustment control, so the odd leaky cap there, I suspect.
AF116/117 four leg (screened) transistors in some of those early solid state car radios were the common trouble makers IIRC.
Peter - Yes you are correct with regards to the organ, that is the exact make....& yes, they are still not worth very much.
I was given that one quite a few years ago in a non-working state & repaired it. I do play it now & again....I have a couple of 'party pieces'
I think ebay is probably the wrong place to sell an item like that. They're not heavy, but they are large, so you are very limited to the type of buyer that is going to bid. A proper auction room is the best place for things like that. The auction house in my nearest city Lincoln is Thomas Mawer & I have seen them go for as little as £40 for a wreck & around £100 for better examples - still not a lot, though (although I haven't been to the sale rooms for several years now). Having said all that, for 99p it got it out of the way & it probably went to a good home, so that's the most important thing |

I think that you are talking a foreign language for most of us here. I assume a leaky 'cap' is a capacitor but what on earth is a 'raster'? _________________ Keep Torqueing,

Raster is the display of lines on the screen and caps is caps as you say (or even condensors to me - its an age thing) at least I hope thats what HMK meant.
I have a large collection of data/service sheets for old car radios etc - if anyone wants a copy of any send me a PM with make & model no and I'll see if I've got it and email you one if so. Nothing for moderns I'm afraid. _________________ Jonathan Butler

Hi Jonathan,
Would you by any chance have the service data for a Philco K628 or K728
car radio?
Kind regards,

|
|
Hi, wondered if any of you well informed people could help me in my quest.
Just bought an original radio for my 1964 Vauxhall Victor FB but it was missing one knob. Would anyone know where I might get a couple of new knobs that look much the same to this or even better an exact match for the one in the picture.
The knob 20mm high 25mm wide at the base and 22mm wide at the top with a chrome domed insert.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My email is: pwood13660@blueyonder.co.uk
Paul
