Don't forget the P60:-
   
At least it's different.

She went for a Pye as we're just outside of Cambridge, we pass the old factory site (now blocks of low flats) every time we go into Cambridge and so we have a local connection. That bit was easy. I offered her a choice of P76, P75, P53 and T19 and the P75 won by a long margin. There were, I hate to say, disparaging comments about the '53 and the '19. Like a sword through the heart it was.

She hates my big Murphy sets...what?!!!

I'd agree with her on looks though may have gone for the P76 as the Gram socket would be handy.

Joe,
According to the Pye Service Sheet it's Model "H" Type PE60V.
I haven't a clue what it means.

The V version has an EM34 magic eye. The plain version, as pictured, doesn't.

PE80s are 'Model "J" PE80' in full.

Joe,
The explanation is plausible but not consistent.
There's no V in the PE80 but it has a Magic Eye.
Why two numbers?

[Paula A]

VHF?

[Joe]

No such luck, Paula.

It was probably something like "Visual Indicator." If all PE80s had them there wouldn't have been much need in that case.

Back 'on topic' - perish the thought.

A blast of Servisol sorted the switch out and a quick twiddle the tuning scale, though I needed three tries to find the right twiddler. All told a nice simple job.
