[R-390] Off-topic IF question

[Bryce Ringwood]

Hi all and a prosperous 2002 to you all,

The WS 19 Mk II was my first short-wave receiver - it cost 65/-
(shillings) brand new, so mention of it brings on some nostalgia. It
also prompted my first electronics project - namely building a 500 Volt
power supply. Alas, I took it apart one day to build something else, as
sub-teenagers often did then. Occasionally, parts of it still turn up in
my junk box. Many of the sets in the UK had a 465 kc/s IF - probably
still do.  At one time you could get 85 kc/s IF transformers. Other
oddities being the B40's 500 kc/s and 5.2 Mc/s of some VHF receivers.

Regards. Had to get it off my chest...

PS Will try to use kHz from now on, since some find kc/s offensive.
PPS Had to resend - my .vcf got added by mistake
