A real blast from the past. Mid to late 60's at a guess. trying to find any wiring diagrams, manual or schematics. Think the power input is via the plug on the hand set cradle? not 100% though as I don't have a plug for it.
Anyone remember these lads? be nice to get it going again
Some of the older lads might know Mark, wheres young ronnie? lol.

been there done that but nowt doing
nearest I've found so far is an rt143 from http://www.tarkastaj...Sailor/Manuals/ but that more of a brochure than any thing useful
try setting it on fire and tell the insurance it was a furuno !! :whistle: :whistle:
For instructions etc for this model you can use the rt145 manual as they are really just the same.
RT144 was first real machine and a B added if ye wur posh. Take me back tae the days o' the marconi big sets. Half a ton o' valves and shite.
Kestrel transmitter and Kittiwake receiver. Edddie McEwan in Elizmor was first tae get wan I think.. Coastal Radios was their biggest enemy, and maist Clyde boats had wan.
Remember gettin' a Gannet / Guardian set up in Silver Lining circa 1965. These things were ENORMOUS.
Half the wheelhoose was taken up by them. You could tune them doon tae speak tae yer neebour, and naebody else could hear ye, so sensitive was the tuning.......
Fond memories of Eric Campbell of Largs, a dapper wee man. His trademark was a fag ash 2 inches long, which inevitably fell intae the guts o' the wireless... And Hughie Dixon, Kelvin Hughes man in Oban for ages, lastly in Ayr, and then part time when he worked fir the polis...I remember we guzzled 56 scallops atween us one night when he was fixing our KH type 17 radar in Girvan. Memories never tae be forgotten.... Oh Christ I must be gettin' auld
