Proud new owner of 1971 PYE Scimitar 544-2 Wallgram.
Previous owner was the daughter of the original purchaser and provided me the original operating instructions and guarantee. Purchased in 1973 From Tasker Electronics Ltd which was presumably somewhere in Wellington.
I have given the BSR C129-A-1 turntable a bit of a clean, replaced the stylus and it's working great. There is a somewhat noticeable chip on the top front corner that I will look to repair at some point, probably with just coloured putty rather than attempting to veneer. I have a PowerDynamics BT10 that I will connect in too. Will just use mains power at first then look for a suitable connection inside to use.
Will look to recap it and fix any other obvious electronic issues but this is not my forte. I don't have a schematic for it and can't find one anywhere. Have been through a few PYE ones to see if any line up and the one for the 528/2 Burbank and U525 Nottingham seems the closest. Does anyone happen to have a copy or know anywhere I might find it? Does anyone else here own this model?
Am also interested in peoples experience with wall mounting a gram. The spaces provided feel very dubious so I'm apprehensive to use them. Any ideas?
