[Closed] Restoring a Beau Decca Mirror-Lid TV and remaking the PSU
The beauty of the new chassis is that it looks like it's always been there .
Cheers
Neil.
Is it possible that tape head equalisation is also offered?
That would account for the extra settings.
The set was released in 1948 so I think that it is fairly unlikely to cater for tape - I may be wrong but I don't think so, Ref.
Most likely EQ settings - if that's what indeed they are, and not just top-cut settings - are for NAB, Decca and EMI 78s. The latter two sound very different to each other; HMV discs are quite bass-heavy, whilst Decca FFRR recordings are pretty bright by comparison.
Perhaps a circuit snippet of the switching will help us work out what the EQ is for.
Too early for tape. As Cathovisor says probably for the three standards of 78 around at the time...I just couldn't remember what they were....!

I have found a grotty copy of the radio tuner and the switching on that is not EQ but a mechanical band-width control. The switch has 5 positions including Off. The others are 3 positions for radio with differing IF bandwidths and a TV position.
On the TV chassis there is another 5 position switch. The positions are TV, Radio and the three gram positions, the 2nd and 3rd of which have simple HF roll-off caps switched in parallel with the volume control track. Nothing clever at all!
Simple treble cut sounds like the best answer. More like an early scratch filter.

Isn't that what "simple HF roll-off" means, Ref?
I tried to keep it simple. It may well be a little more complicated in the set.

Amazing piece of work (again!).
I also ordered some of the cloth covered wire from Mullard Magic for a pre war set (a radio of course - a pre-war TV's out my league). I agree it is excellent.
Cheers
Ian
