Pye 169

Doz · 2020-02-19T08:26:54Z

Some of you may remember I converted my Pye 92 to use a Philips 210/300 LOPTx after the original failed. Some of you may also remember that transformer also failed after a few years use :( Well, it's sat there languishing in the corner of the workshop... staring at me with a forlorn blank CRT. What's the chances of converting it to use a Thorn "Jellypot"? If there's a chance, what sort of Jellypot should I be on the lookout for, given my 17" CRT? Thanks in advance, Doz.

After a few days quarantined in the shed (along with an RAP "Rental radio", which arrived mysteriously on the doorstep, along with a note "Thought you might like this - Brian" ... and I've rung the only Brian I know, and it isn't from him!) I have a brand spanking new pink spot transformer in my grubby mits, complete in Thorn box. Exciting times... now off to the library to peruse the relevant schematics and hatch a plan for when the weather breaks next week.

I take it the cunning plan never hatched, or perhaps like the rest of us, motivation has gone on vacation.
