Hi All,
I have recently acquired two Pye base station systems, one being T30FM and R17 and the other T30FM and R18. Old stuff but it in excellent condition and I am determined to do something useful with it.
I find I have no manuals for any of these equipments in my collection and hope somebody can help.
The two T30FM's appear to have different PA stages, one has a single large PA module, the other a two smaller PA modules.
The R17 and R18 appear to be identical apart from the RF/Mixer module. The R17 appears to be a standard Westminster receiver module, the R18 has a more complex RF module.
I am sure everybody else had these units years ago and replaced them with something smaller and more modern.
Any circuit diagram and alignment info would be gratefully received - any cost incurred will, of course, be reimbursed.
cheers
