Re: Standard Beam Approach - Rebuild update
Hi Alan
According to the Practical Wireless article in 1956, the set could be bought for 15s with valves or 4s without. The author actually paid 10s. He was J. Stebbings - the name rings a bell but I am not sure why.
I've been cleaning my receiver this afternoon and on reading your post I was full of admiration of the work you must have put in to figure out the circuit, but looking at the pictures of your unit (attached) I can see that it is very much simpler than the one I have. This is because the fixed tuning requires several banks of variable caps and a lot of switching! Not surprising they changed the design!
Shame that you can't find your set - it is an exceedingly rare beast!
Cheers
James
