This is the cover for the user manual:

Maybe the same thing was rebranded like those Philips/Mullard radios?

I just got this Yaesu receiver:

Probably a step to the left for this site, even though it dates back to the late 70's,
but it was branded Yaesu to market to amateurs,
and also put in a black cabinet and branded "Sears"
the large US department stores, and also had a third brand as well.

I'm still chasing up the Land Mobile schematics,
It might be possible to get them back to DS as well.

I'm not familiar with the company Transceiver Corp of Australia P/L.

Here's a Mariner 60 in Tasmania:

That is more or less the same, but mine has a Weston
Electronics badge and say made in Sydney on it,
and the cabinet cream and brown colours are swapped.

More like this one that was on eBay at some stage:

Perhaps the same thing was produced somewhere else and they
have the same guts.
Schematics and specs do align with the manual though.

There may have been some badge engineering going on.

I gather that service documentation on any Weston gear is extremely had to get nowadays. Any chance you could ask your source what other stuff he has, particularly anything on Weston Radio Telephone Type LM7 and/or Vaughan Transceiver VSR-4?

I have already asked about Land Mobile versions,
and happy to enquire about the latter also.

The fellow did work on a boat, and was also an RF tech,
but I don't think that would mean he limited himself to repairing marine radios.

Sorry GTC, I did ask, but the only thing that survived his clean up was
another schematic for a Traeger T-70, which is another marine transciever.
Looks like he was specialising in marine stuff now.

It turns out looking like this was produced by Weston Electronics.
It has two PCBs (audio amplifier and IF train), and the rest is point to point.
Both PCBs are etched with "Weston" in text in copper.

Thanks for asking. Pity if he chucked out any Weston documentation given its scarcity.

I can't find any information on Transceiver Corp of Australia P/L, which increases my curiosity about it.

There is another fellow (a ham on yet another forum) who
tossed out several of the land mobile versions.. the actual hardware,
though he does think he can find the right knob and replacement microphone for me.

Obviously not all older folk share the same sentiment about it all.
Most of the guys at ham club like what I'm doing, but they all have new plastic gear themselves.

I grabbed the Traeger T-70 circuit anyway because this thread might be found by
someone with a Google search one day.

Here's one with a mains plug attached to it's 12 Volt supply leads.
Inline fuse and all...

with a mains plug attached to it's 12 Volt supply leads

Arrrgh!

Owners of such equipment ought to know there are better options than that.

Dangerous and illegal. What more to say?

The device actually wants a 12 Volt DC supply as far as I can tell.
So if it has not been plugged in already, the first time it is plugged in will be interesting.

If it's anything like mine it has a valve RF output section, and also uses a valve for microphone pre-amp.
There is an internal oscillator and transformer circuit inside
with it's own smoothing caps to provide HT for the valve sections. But I'm sure it will go bang before anyone tries to transmit.

I'm not a member of eBay to ask the question or report it.
I use my Sister's account.

It's probably a vibrator set.

I'm guessing that this has come off a boat or some such and the owner has used a 240 volt socket for the 12 volt supply instead of something like this:

http://www.12volt.com.au/General%20Htmls/webcat2003/2pin3.gif.

I doubt that anybody buying such gear would be stupid enough to plug it into 240 volts, but that plug ought to be removed on principle.

Think I'll contact the seller. (May be told to mind my own business like I was by a jerk in QLD.)

Not unusual to see stupidity like that done for convenience.

I bought a GDO recently, which is 110V. It came with a 2 pin plug that could be fitted into our mains, the metal case was not grounded and mains socket broken on the stepdown transformer.

It is actually illegal to sell stuff like that, with no tag at all, in Victoria?

I did put an American plug on it, hard to get, so lack of availability contributes to a lack of safety.

You could use Earth and neutral, I'll bet they didn't.
