Default Re: Marconi Generator Help

Amanda, there is also the massive VMARS online military archive. Well worth a visit.
If the inside of the 995's cabinet smells a bit like old fly spray, then the "brown goo" might well be the pan-climatic fungicide which many items of military test equipment were sprayed with internally. Some brylcreme boy, pongo or matelot might have been a bit heavy with a spray can back in the 60's.
As I have an A/5 & an A/2, like many other Marconi enthusiasts, will find your thread excellent reading.

Regards, David
