The Phase II stations were to use the new Mk II equipment.
These pictures show the desks at Radio Teesside. The Mk II was essentially
the same as the Mk I but by then Pye had taken over the manufacture from
CTH adding such novel features as McMurdo Red Range connectors on the rear
of each channel module in place of the choc. block style connectors which
had always been a maintenance nightmare for the Station Engineer and his
assistant!
Proper Ericsson PFL lever keys were used instead of a very cheap and nasty version which had been used on the Mk I. Voice-over limiter/compressors were added and the standard of build was of an altogether more permanent nature.
