It may have been my post to which you refered. The main PSU on mine works, but the battery charging circuit does not and is totally different to the manual I found online, I cannot honestly remember if the main PSU is the same as shown in the on-line manual; I suspect it may not be. The battery charging was a "nice to have" and I have gone no further with it due to a plethoria of other things that have demanded my time. Mine also has an annoying fault with the deviation metering circuit - I cannot seem to get enough gain out of it - that I have never got to the bottom of.

If there is anything I can do, in terms of measuring anything on mine, that will help you please ask, but I will not be able to get at mine until about the 25th.

Also, this kit appears not to have actually been manufactured by Marconi, rather being a piece of badge engineering instead.
