Dansette Herald - Early Version - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Just repaired this radio but not sure of the IF frequency. I have set it up for 470kHz (Still think 470kc/s sounds better) but cannot confirm if this is correct.
Does anyone have the R&TV book for 1964-65 just to make sure it is not 465kc/s? Pretty certain, being a British radio the IF is 470, the radio works very well at this anyway.

By coincidence, the manual is in front of me at the moment.

It is indeed 470kc/s

Fantastic Graham, I was considering buying from the Service Data Library but the model shown does not indicate if it is the early version or the one using the dreaded Mullard Modules.
Many thanks for confirming the I.F., Mods please close this thread, many thanks. Les
