Default Re: GEC BRT400D Communications Receiver

Thanks Andrew,
I will replace the capacitors you have mentioned just to be on the safe side as a preventative measure.

My set uses mostly B8B valves with only three of the valves being miniature. The S130 Cossor branded valve gives off a particularly mesmerising purple glow.

It has a very low serial number, so I would think from you info it is an early Fifties made model.

I also have a copy of an advert for the later BRT400K, which I have attached, - it maybe the same as yours. The BBC definately had no shortage of them judging from the photo!
