Thanks Jeremy.
I was aware of the link with PYE, and was led to believe in a conversation recently that they used the PAM branding to release the unproven technologies first to insulate the PYE name from any reliability issues or customer resistance.
I'm buying the little 17" set from a great chap who is a prolific local collector. He gets a lot of his stock from a couple of house clearance guys, and sells on anything that is no interest to him, but is in his opinion stuff worth saving, anyway, he knew I was on the lookout for a 710 as a companion for my Raytheon transistor portable I acquired a few months ago, so he rang and announced "Hi Andy, I've found a Pam for you".........the Bu**er! ........But as it is an example of early TV with printed wiring boards construction, and not at all expensive, I agreed to give it a home, with the permission of SWMBO.
As for the 710, I normally like the challenge of a little restoration, (I have some early Pye sets that are basket cases that at a push could donate parts). And I wouldn't pay silly money but........Um........ I wonder if the missus is buying any new shoes shortly?
Cheers,
Andy.
