Well really.....What can one say?

Just a note. My View Master is tuned to channel 3. It came complete with all the original construction notes and the extra sheets for the Kirk o Shotts transmitter but the envelope is marked Brighton, 'Truleigh Hill'.

This was the first relay station [I think] picking up the AP transmissions and retransmitting them to the Brighton area on channel 3 later to be superseded of course by Rowridge, the high power transmitter on the Isle of Wight. I think it opened in 1952 two years before Rowridge.

You should be able to retune yours David from channel 2 to channel 1 simply by retuning the cores of the RF stages. Maybe worth a go when you have eventually raised it from the dead. John
