Default Re: Marconi NS702 / 2207E, SN 623 (Atalanta type) receiver

Sounds like the bandspread button drops the tuning gearbox into a lower gear and clutches the knob to the bandspread pointer as well.

Atalantas seem rather rare in private hands. There must have been plenty made, so I assume Marconi got most of them back through contracts and destroyed them to prevent a second-hand market developing.
