PYE FenMan II RM
Hi Folks,
I have a PYE FenMan II RM to look at (the innards from a RadioGram). On the Service Data site (top right of this Forum) there is listed Data for the FenMan II and the FenMan II RG. I will of course purchase both these but would appreciate any clues/hints as to which one would be best and any tips on what I can expect from anyone who has looked at one of these previously. Many thanks in advance, James. |

Re: PYE FenMan II RM
From long and distant memory , the Pye "Fenman" RM was the Radiogram version (RG) of the Radio, but with the additional circuitry for the Record Maker option. Not many of these were made.

Re: PYE FenMan II RM
Hi James
The RM stands for record maker. Most of these did not have the additional record maker parts fitted so there should be an 9 pin valve style base fitted to the socket. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/pye_fenman_ii_rm.html The differences between the RG and RM are tiny. I think I published a snip about the difference eons ago on this forum. crossed with Edward Cheers Mike T

Re: PYE FenMan II RM
Sorry its so low definition I can't find my original scans.
But this is the snip of the differences. Do you have the RM unit? Cheers Mike T

Re: PYE FenMan II RM
Thanks.
No, my friend has just given me the 'innards' to rejuvenate while he does the record player and case. James. |
