Re: A Slow Moving Spare from CES for the Pye 697 chassis?
I want one of those!!!
The Dynatron I'm doing has had some water damage to the LTB panel and won't oscillate, despite the usual changes. I'm waiting for an oscillator coil from a kind forum member to see if that does the trick.
I remember Manor Supplies used to sell brand new semi-populated panels that were handy for spares, though by that time the sets were past their useful life.
We used to buy Pye 205s from disposal houses with a sort of 'buy one get one free' deal. The free one was usually a much nicer 691/693 chassis in a dated cabinet but it did give us a better CDA panel, a real timebase tower and sometimes even a decent CRT! All we needed then was a large pot of Evo-Stik to re-attach the plastic bits.
PS - anyone got a salvageable timebase they don't want?
