No it's a Nautiglass V15 circa 1980.
I've done a lot of work on it over the years.
Due for replacement very soon however.
Looking at either a Barcrusher or Surtees.
I would have been shopping now but current events have conspired against me.

Irext ,
All good fun , I had a little Hartley years ago ,it was my first boat .
Had a few sleep over nights in the Harbour with it .
I like those old Hartley boats.
Some type of boat would be good here to go up the river in.

Pete

Careful mentioning 1940's STC 236 with a swine BC coil: I rejoined the two broken wires in it but it behaves like dead oscillator. I have not previously had time to mess with it.

More research the SW non resonant primary coil (TRF stage) I threw a lump of ferrite into (major job, like hours, to get at) with several turns of winding wire around it. Actually works? It was only to protect the 6U7 (V1) which would like on BC have no plate voltage.

Need to look at the BC oscillator 6K8 was subbed with a 6J8 so the problem looks like its not valve related.

The luck of being on a Farm. It appears that Ivermectin kills C-19: So guess who's got some. So it kills, Mite,Cattle Tick, Gastro-Intestinal Roundworms, Lung worms, Sucking & biting lice. And is used for Headlice in people.

I have actually come into contact with it as the Bovine army can be less than cooperative & downright dangerous, when coralled: So its a case of ... Moo!

A good friend of mine has just restored a bondwood Hartley halfcab.
He bought it for peanuts with a Johnson 70HP outboard which only had a handful of hours on it since new.
A real bargain.
