Marconiphone V2 for auction
Not my thing and nothing to do with me but I know there's some keen collectors of early sets out there. My local auction house has a V2 in the listings for 19th October. No valves...

Re: Marconiphone V2 for auction
That estimate seems low to say the least. The valves are easier to obtain than the coils (range blocks?)

Re: Marconiphone V2 for auction
Yes obtaining Range coils and regenerators for these is difficult.
The Range coils cover a very small range each I have 1 Regen and 2 coils but they are not on a useful part of the band these days. The regenerators fetch the upper end of the estimate and it looks as if there are 3 of those and 4 coils Range Blocks available: 185 - 250 m 300 - 390 m 390 - 530 m 400 - 600 m 600 - 800 m 800 -1000 m 1000 -1300 m 1300 -1700 m 1700 -2100 m 2100 -2600 m 2600 -3200 m The regenerator units: 185 - 250 m 300 - 500 m 450 - 800 m 800 -1300 m 1300 -2100 m 2100 -3200 m Cheers Mike T

Re: Marconiphone V2 for auction
That was still rather cheap, bargain for some lucky person.

Re: Marconiphone V2 for auction
I agree that was a bargain I paid more than that for mine in the 80's
