Hello
I am looking for information on Coastel Radio a firm that was located in Edinburgh specialising in Marine equipment. Web sites devoted to this subject would be a good start. Thanks and best Regards Techno Last edited by Station X; 28th Dec 2004 at 7:26 pm. Reason: Import |

Re: Coastel Radio of Edinburough
Hi Techno,
The name Coastel Radio sounds like it comes from a different era from my references but who knows? There was a company listed in the Edinburgh street directory for 1948/49 that also appears in the 57/58 directory but not in the 62/63. It was COASTAL RADIO LTD, 27 Hope Crescent, Edinburgh. Can't help you with web pages. |

Re: Coastal Radio of Edinburgh
Hi Peter
Thank you for the information about Coastel Radio Endinburgh. Back in the late 1980's when I was working for B.T a Radio Amateur friend gave me a Coastel Radio Massive seven TX and a CR300 receiver (not to be confused with a Marconi ). The receiver had a tube front end, IF and detector stages followed by a single ended OC29 transistor amplifier. The above was enclosed in a bench top rack with a 24V rotary convertor supplying 350V H. T, and the valve heaters were run off the 24V supply. I have still got the TX and some day hope to get it fired upon Top Band. The RX was sold at Portishead Swop meet bring and buy and the rack and convertor being to bulky to take home got dumped. This may generate some more interest in the subject. Best Regards Techno Last edited by Station X; 28th Dec 2004 at 7:28 pm. Reason: Import |
