Default Re: Oh no - another V4!

Hello again Dom,
It might be the LOPT core a bit saturated by a damp overwind but it is such a good picture that I feel it might get better with extended use. I don't fancy the idea of removing a 60 year old LOPT from the chassis unless it is absolutely necessary. The insulation may well be brittle but fine if not disturbed. Just my thoughts.
I recently unearthed my original V4 manuals and was surprised at the early release dates for the V4. The full manual is dated January 1953 so these sets must have been released very late in 1952 with the usual Pye advance service data to cover these early releases. The abridged data is dated April 1953.
I also found this data sheet dated 1-11-53 covering a few notes that dealers must have asked Pye to clarify.The original manuals are a work of art! Regards, John.
