Barclay radio tuning drivecord.
Hi. Does anyone have a Barclay valve radio (ex Yugoslavian - made by E.I in the mid 1960's) in their collection, that they can give me details of the gang drive cord of (i.e number of turns, direction of travel, and what position the opening aperture of the tuning drum is on the variable capacitor when capacitance is maximum) ?
The cord has 3 loops in its travel, so there are two at each end, and a third one somewhere part way, giving one with a shorter length between loops, and a longer length between loops. I wonder if this was based on the cord drive system for the a.m ferroceptor used on Philips 543/643A radios in trader sheet 1208 ? I think that the middle loop in the Barclay drive cord has been moved/slipped on my example, so I have no idea of the dimensions between each loop on the cord. Luckily for me, the cursor cord is ok, and not broken.
Regards
Mike
