Default Re: Burndept sarbe BE301

Hi John, small world. I left Burndept in around 1984 so we may well have been there at the same time, shipping shed loads of BE470’s to the police and fire brigades. Apart from the QA function I was the Base Station product manager.
Yes the BE301 was hermetically sealed, I remember the tank they used to use to test for leaks in front of the temperature cycling machine and as far as I remember they did have a dual supply and a 16V working voltage, but it has been a long time.
I’ve not seen circuit diagrams for the 301 or the SARBE sets since leaving, there was another chap on here a few weeks ago asking about SARBE circuits without any luck.
Of course they have gone now, killed by lack of investment and competition from initially PYE and eventually cheap imports.
Cheers
