Default Re: R1481 set

I bought one of these receivers at the last Radiophile auction, in transit case with Clydesdale labels on it. Looks original from the outside but some component changes inside. I gave it a quick test, with a suitable psu and signal generator as there are no stations in the range it covers to my knowledge, and it was working although not well.
When I looked on the internet, I found information that it could have been used to intercept German aircraft radio transmissions by Y stations in late wartime.
If anyone is interested I will take and post some pictures of the set.
Regards Mike (Gridiron).
