Hi Tom,

Are these the type of switches you need. Often made by Bulgin I think. You're welcome to these two If they'll help.

I did quite a bit of work a dozen years ago on my 850/4. It was good for listening to the Alexanderson alternator on 17.2kHz and aircraft beacons on low medium wave. They've almost all gone now.

Realignment on the very VLF band was tricky. 3 point tracking I seem to remember. It was also useful as a signal tracer.

I've mislaid the memory stick which contains my photos so I'm not able to remember the serial No. I don't think it had dev on the plate.
