Redifon and Marconi info sources - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Can any one help with any information on the Redifon GR377 or Marconi Marine Kestrel 3. My hope is to put both sets back on the air.
The Redifon is from one of the Grimsby fleet my uncle maintained while working for Marconi on the docks, before moving over to the TV side.
Any help or tips on where to find circuits, manuals or hand books would be greatly appreciated. Thanks .

Hi,
Is it the GR377 or the GR377DF? I have handbooks for both but will need to scan or copy them.
Let me know
cheers

Will check when I get home. Mine is the later version with the broadcast receiver and DF facility if this helps. Thanks for replying, there seems to be very little info about either of these sets. Will try and post some pics later.

Just sorted a pic of the kestrel 3 and Redifon, will sort a better pic for the GR377 later.

Checked the set, its a straight GR377, here's a better pic.
Thanks Peter for your help, PM any costs. Graham G1DNZ
