Pye as she is (not) Manufactured

[AlanBeckett]

See eBay Item 140535735735.
I though I knew a bit about Pyes, but not this one. When I first glanced at it I thought pre-war. Then I looked at the other pictures. That looks like a Jason FM Tuner plus A N Other amplifier. It might actually sound quite good, but I don't think it was much to do with Pye.
Have I got that right?
Does anyone know what it might have been originally?
Perhaps I should have put it in the Home-brewed Section

Hi Alan, it looks like a home bodge up, jason tuner even the large chassis with mains transformer does not look like pye, a strange concoction....regards......Alan

Well somebody paid £18.58 plus postage for it. If there'd been no other interest I've have bid a fiver out of curiosity and I could have modified it how I liked with a clear conscience. It's probably as well that somebody saved me.

the amp was maybe worth £26 have you sean the price of new good quality singel ended output transformers?

Well, it wasn't me. I wasn't that interested and I've got plenty on at the moment.
I guess that's the end of this Thread.
