Roy Arbman’s AK708 John Dodgshun’s signal tracer Terry Collins’ AVO VCM
Roy Arbman entered a very nicely restored Atwater Kent model 708 that had needed major cabinet work and won Radio – Restoration and Performance certificates
John Dodgshun entered a clever scratch-built signal tracer using 2 valves plus a magic eye and won Test Instrument – Design and Construction certificates.
Terry Collins entered a complex restoration of an AVO VCM tube tester that had suffered heat and water damage. A tip for similar cleaning jobs; cooking oil, backing soda, detergent and toothpaste were all used. Looking like new, and with comprehensive electronics replacement Terry’s entry won Test Instrument – Complex Restoration certificate and Overall Winner certificate.
Details will be published in the year end Bulletin.
