Some background from the web.... article by Gerry O’Hara, G8GUH The story goes that the S.940 was conceived, designed and entered production within a few months in 1962 when the sales director of Eddystone noted that there was a gap in the market between the expensive high-end ‘professional’ sets of the time and those for the ‘civilian’ market, eg. S.840C. A mid-priced general coverage set of good quality and reasonable feature set was therefore needed. Bill Cooke was tasked with designing such a set and to use as many ‘stock parts’ as possible, targeting a street-price of around 100 pounds. And so the S.940 was born - nothing really fancy, just a solid, not-too-many frills, well-made single-conversion communications receiver for the more discerning short wave enthusiast. Its position in the marketplace meant that the vast majority of these receivers went into private hands – usually meaning that they were not worked as hard as those in professional use and were likely to have been looked after as a personal ‘pride and joy’ for many years following the high price paid (even if you were ‘well-heeled’) - rather than it being merely a tool in someone else’s toolkit - the ‘nobody ever washed a rental car’ syndrome. Both the S.940 circuit and mechanical construction are interesting and although many features and circuit elements are derived from earlier or contemporary Eddystone models, there are one or two interesting ‘twists’ unique to the S.940. For example, the front-end has two RF stages: not the usual two pentodes, but a twin-triode (ECC189) in a cascode circuit (see sidebar on next page) followed by a pentode (6BA6). This ‘supercharged’ front-end, in theory at least, packs more sensitivity punch than the 830, which only has the cascode stage of similar design
