Default Re: GEC BRT402D Receiver.

I have an RC410R here, awaiting restoration, along with the full service manual down to component level.

It looks a bit of a nightmare (which is why it's still awaiting) and has one badly warped Paxolin PCB in the synthesiser. It was working 17 years ago...

The tuning is mechanical, with a servomotor controlled by a phase locked loop system and a varicap for fine tuning.

The 4-gang tuning box has the ranges selected by a Ledex turning a set of wafer switches. Plenty of noisy clunking going on there as of course it only turns in one direction!
