Standard Logo - Have you seen one of these? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi All

Long shot, but has anyone got any equipment with the same label as the one attached to the controller in the attached photo? It says Standard Radio and there is some sort of 'dart' like graphic.

Or has anyone got a good photo of the label?

Cheers
James

James,

That 'dart' logo does look familiar, but on much later post-war equipment, I'll see what I can find tomorrow.

James,
Have a look at ebay item 192818085767.
I guess this dates from the 60's, and fittingly it is an ILS Junction Box, so a descendant of SBA.
Of course logos get 'refreshed', so whether it is identical I don't know.

I have a black and chromed metallic 'Standard Radio' label about a foot long that came from the VHF Band II 10kW transmitters at Kirk o' Shotts which were ripped out about '84. Same ones that were in Sandale and other UK VHF main transmitters.

You are a star! In colour too. I strongly suspect that the Logo was generated for 'landing guidance' products so I'm going with it. I've been looking at much older adverts and references.

Russell

Is it the same as the one Andy referenced? If so, could you take a nice perpendicular photo of it for me please?

The next best thing to the internet are the forums!

Cheers
James

James, of course I shall. But it's over at my mam's in Workington, so I'll retrieve it when I'm next over.

Hi Russell

Thanks very much - I'd like to get the colours correct - brass and silver can photograph dark of ligh depending on the angle and what they are reflecting cuurently I am leaning towards a brass plate with a white dart and black writing!

Cheers
James

Here's another one I found down the shed, James. I have a feeling this came off one of the WWII-vintage ST&C CS8 HF dual-channel broadcast transmitters from Skelton 'B' (OSE9). It's black and chrome.
