Does anyone have any circuit details, manual or other information for an MCR1 receiver (with PSU).
Anything gratefully received, and expenses covered.
PM me if you prefer.
Many thanks
Jeremy

Peter, thank you very much - a most invaluable archive.
The detail will allow me to see quickly where things are, for fault-finding.
many thanks

They seem to work really well (or not at all!) for a set of that size & era.

However, does anyone know what the correct battery for them was?
Although not available now, it would be nice to make up a dummy case that looks authentic.
