Ferrograph Series 6 service manual? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Deccapye · 21st Jul 2012, 4:23 pm

Hi,

I've just bought a Ferrograph 632H. Does anyone know if Ferrograph issued a manual which described/diagrammed the inner mechanisms and electrics of the Series 6 machines for the purpose of service, repair and restoration?

Also, does anyone know of any good touch-up paint for marks on the metal outer chassis/control panel? It's the standard colour, light green I think (though I'm a bit colourblind!).

I think the "hospital" green was very similar to a Morris colour. You could try Halfords or a commercial/trade motor paint factors. Given a sample they could make some up for you, although it might be Polyeurethane 383( near to domestic gloss paint) and there might be a minimum quantity. But if you're stuck with 2.5 Litres why not sell it off to forum members in small bottles?

If you only need a bit of paint a good aircraft model shop should have Tamiya paints , which cover a variety of greens
