Re: HMV model 2401 "Stereomaster" restoration
I think you're right about the tuner and decoder. It did the job, but my slightly newer Japanese receivers (Trio, JVC etc.) were in a different league entirely - perfect reception with just a finger touching the aerial connection, and dozens of other distant stations that the Ferguson didn't even resolve.
I do have a soft spot for these "bread and butter" BRC systems though, and was intrigued to find out from this forum recently that the rather more upmarket Goodmans Module 80 receiver that I had at about the same time was also a BRC product.
Here's a pic of one similar to mine, found via Google. Same control layout, same chassis no doubt, but mine looked more old-fashioned with transparent plastic skirts around the knobs etc.
Nick.
