Many years ago in 1960
Liverpool University Amateur Radio Society was formed and acquired
the callsign G3OUL
One of the first pieces of equipment
purchased by the society was an AR77E receiver (click G3OUL and
spot it).
At that time the set wasn't
particularly old, having been made in 1939. Now, 54 years later
I've managed to find another one.
I think it needs lots and lots
of attention but it basically looks OK. Some of the knobs are
wrong, the T/R switch is in need of attention and I suspect some
coils might need new tuning slugs and I'm pretty certain the
front panel was originally a more muted colour, maybe a sort
of buff or grey-brown, not a ghastly bright red? Was the last
owner colour blind?
Frequency coverage is in 6 ranges as follows:-
1. 540-1,340KHz: 2. 1,340-3,300KHz: 3. 3,300-5,800KHz:
4. 5,800-10,200KHz: 5. 10,200-18,000KHz: 6. 18,000-31,000KHz
