i found the BBC technical Instructions on the set up of two 6n and two 88 with a with a 41a limiter and a 89a configured as a monitor. Is changed over to be run on 50hz at 230 but dose have schematic for all. The interesting part is, the reconfiguration of the 88 to use the BBC Grampian B feedback head instead of the presto 1d/1c . I ll post a copy incase any want to look at it.

Thanks for posting. I see they refer to TI R2 Section B (see page 13 of the document) for more info on the feedback adaptation for the Grampian head. Do you know if this document is available?
