Life On Mars

UPDATE 26th January 2007

 

 Re LIFE ON MARS Second Series 2007.

Watch out for the episode with the EDDYSTONE EC10 MK1 and HEATHKIT MOHICAN GC1A HF portable receivers inside a surveillance van monitoring home made bugs constructed by Sam out of Pye Westminster squelch boards and Pye Westminster BFY51 regulator boards, with microphones and aerials attached.

And the episode which contains a Burndept BE439 Red Button 3 channel Transmitter-Receiver which Sam receives from another adjacent police force who he is in collusion with.

And of course the old favourites --

The Pye Dash Westminster in the Ford car

The PF1 Pocketphones and car adaptor plus 10 way Red - Yellow battery charger

PYE tulip microphone plus PC1 remote base controller intercom unit in the wooden cabinet.
