 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

We had our big yearly swap meet here last weekend. I picked up a few goodies, like a little netbook ( got a question about that in another thread ), and these 3 Marconi test instruments. Two look like receivers and ones a signal generator, I think. Story is, these were used a props in a Batman bat cave show at Movie World on the Gold Coast. This was torn down years ago the these were picked up. I got all 3 for $20 the lot. They have been painted black so its hard to read the panels. Many of the transformers and valves have been ripped out. There isnt enough to make a good one out of the two identical units. So after suggestions as to what to do with them. I'm tempted to tear them down and put the components in my parts bins. I collect old valve era parts. But I want to make sure they have no value as is before I pull them apart. If anyone know's of these units and can suggest a more fitting end, let me know.     Glenn The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, the second best time is right now. JAQ |

Only a very serious restorer would tackle those, that topside rust means moisture got into them badly... parts bin material... |

This guy might be able to fill in a few details. He restores all sorts of vintage goodies. |

The Historical Radio Society may be another option. They may also have people that would like to acquire them. |
