Eddystone Receiver on Suzuki Advert?
Hello All
Is that an Eddystone receiver at 0:23 in this Suzuki advert, currently being used on ITV? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI6cL178nu0 best regards ... Stef |

Not recognisable as an Eddystone. It has modern clean lines more like a seventies far eastern set.

Re: Eddystone Receiver on Suzuki Advert?
The video quality in the YouTube link is low-resolution - something like 480p horizontal - desperately-crappy, so I can't ID any of the gear shown.
I'm more interested in the digital stuff [which shows READY]. Perhaps a 4K video version would let us drill-down to ID the kit?

Re: Eddystone Receiver on Suzuki Advert?
It isn't any Eddystone I've ever seen and gives off a signal generator vibe. Probably a Japanese one that never made it to the UK.
At 0:28 it looks like a bit of test gear for PCM telephony. The cabinet style and panel style looks like Wandel und Goltermann with their W-G logo and name on the bottom of panel blue band painted over. Peter Scott might be the chap to recognise it. https://www.wg-museum.de/das-museum/ No comments about the truncated polizei-wagen, please. It's off topic here, so just enjoy it silently. David

Yes, Indeed. As a Suzuki owner I posted on the Suzuki forum back in August but got no responses.

The Wandel and Goltermann test gear at 00:28 looks like a PF-4 Bit Error Measuring Set.
