Default Re: wot are these emerson/gec trannies ?

Re. the GEC, the design says 1962 to me, give or take a year, which would make it among the earliest sets after GEC and Sobell manufacturing were merged. About the only obvious candidate from around that time in the Newnes books is the G810, but there's just a schematic of it there and no layout drawing, which might help a lot. It's a six-transistor set using a PP9, with car aerial and tape sockets, but that hardly amounts to a positive identification even if your set agrees in all respects. Quoted transistors are GET884, two GET883, GET113 and two S5, but those were likely subject to change anyway. Have to hope someone knows what it is, or possibly has a Sobell equivalent.
