Any Clues on what its not doing? They have the same parts as radios and suffer the same concequences.

I have fixed a fair bit of test equipment

Guess he's not coming back.

When the powerline was getting repaired the other day, the foreman showed some photos of something he found. It had a morse key and a bunch of coils (no valves) so I thought it might be a spark transmitter. It was made by some company in George St Sydney. I asked him to post the photos here which said he would do, but nothing happened.

Someone offered to buy it from him, the price in my opinion was too good to pass up. I still wonder what it was though.

It's only been four days. Too early to tell if they will come back or not.

A valve a day keeps the transistor away...
