EDDYSTONE RADIO RECEIVER AND BROKEN KEY
This is the page I will add in over time with information on my Eddystone 830/4 Radio Receiver received from Canada (with no power cable, of course, it didn't work)Murphy's Law, if they say they don't have any power cable so could not check it out, buy it if you want but be prepared for some troubleshooting in the end. Meanwhile, I may get it going before long, and it does have a nice look. 415 made by Eddystone of England for the RCAF of Canada about 1966. More info later on.
The photo here shows what I should have received,via ebay.uk, a complete old morse key, nothing missing or broken!
The next photo shows what I did receive as it came out of the box and laid on top of the cd player. The old morse key(mostly there, but!), a WW2 RAF aircraft identification signal key, and the remnants of a dirty, broken bell with the bell itself missing!! That junk bell part could have been chucked into the nearest dustbin(garbage can)! Not sent over here from the UK!
The image shown now is of the base of the above received morse key, after some cleanup, laying beside an original key of the same type with a base in the proper complete condition as shown in the ebay.uk seller's photo. Not one broken by some !X!?XX!!
Here in this next photo is a side view of the broken base with the strangely missing front piece!
This photo has the wood base with some attempt at adding a similar made missing front piece and straightening up the side broken area by adding a piece!!
And then the photo with a view of the partly completed wood base repairs surrounded by the precision engineering equipment used manually! Hi!!
Finally, the almost completed, but reassembled for straight key night(SKN) coming up. More to do with the key later on.
