I recently saved this radio from being trashed along with a
Hallicrafters S-38. Here is a picture of the MK II

Its very dirty and missing the meter on the front and probably 2/3 of
the tubes. It doesn't look like any of the original components have been
changed. If anyone is interested I can see about getting it boxed up and
letting it go for the cost of shipping. My zip is 15112 and Fedex ground
seems to be the cheapest for stuff like this. One question I do have is
why the dual russian/english labels on everything?

Try this website:
http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/#info

They are one of two groups who maintain
a Yahoo Group site, as well. There are
member-enthusiasts who would be
interested in restoring this set, so
please contact them. (I had a Mk II as
a teenager, and loved the challenge of
operating 40 mtr CW with it. There's
also a 220Mhz AM transceiver built into
it for tank-to-tank communications! It's
the upper-left section with the
double-capped tube.)

And it's superregenerative.. VE7AFN.


I looked at the site. The login requirements seemed a little silly
given that the information is available elsewhere on the web with no
restriction. They might have 'better' or more complete documents; but a
cursory glance across several google links indicates anything needed for
the OP's purposes is freely available elsewhere.
