As title. I used to work for Pye Telecom in 1968 (Cambridge Works, Haig Rd, hence my user name) and from 1977 to 1990 as a field engineer. I have a few of the service sheets and manuals I have made a pdf of.
Here is the list:
Various IF sig gens and marker oscillator.
Various TMS. Plus the later TMS3 brown plastic box one with loudspeaker.
RFL5 reflectometer.
TM1 as used on PF70 range.
Most of the above were the portable ones about 9" x 7" x 3" deep
MM1 automatic mod meter.
SG3V, SG5U, these are both the blue case type and SG6 (Black case 1.5GHz) sig gens.
RDA8 distribution amplifier.
All as pdf.
If anyone wants a copy, please pm me with actual type number you want and your email address and I can send it if I have it.
Sometimes a delay as files are stored on my main desktop pc and I mostly use a tablet or my android phone.

psĀ  I also have the FARNELL PSG520 original service info and diagrams supplied by them around 25 years ago, but it is not a full handbook. I have only ever seen the full handbook for the bench type one, the SSG520, it is around an inch thick!

Hello from a fellow Pye service engineer.

I was based at Manchester Ardwick as a bench engineer, the first real job I had fixing the hand-portables and mobiles, that would have been between 1979 and 1984. Most of what you are listing above brings back vague memories, think I have some if the IF markers around somewhere.

Rob Adrian, thanks for telling us your story and also for the generous offer of PDFs.

Would you be willing to upload them to the "Archive" section of the forum? I know that as a newcomer with fewer than 15 postsĀ  you don't yet have download rights for the archive. But since you're definitely a giver rather than a taker I'm sure a moderator will fix that for you.

Edited in response to Adrian's subsequent post. Apologies to both of you.
No it's Rob you want.
Yes, can upload them when I am allowed, should soon have the 15 posts.
Just read about the copyright and not sure if still active. These mostly date back to 60s and 70s, maybe there are 2 from early 80s
Pye Telecom became Philips Telecom, then Philips Radio Communication Services and then Simoco afaik.

I think you can upload them now. It's downloads that you can't do yet.

If you need to contact a moderator, just report your own post. They're really helpful.
OK. I have uploaded most in the test gear archive section, but reached the limit of attachments. Do I just start a new thread with the other few attachments?
This is a new learning curve for me!

Hello,
