Hello,
Interesting topic. Would the Birketts shop you are discussing be on the street that leads up to Lincoln Cathedral? If so that must be the place I used to visit when over to see my relatives in Brant Broughton, Lincs, during the early 70's. In those days I was more interested in semiconductors than anything else. I seem to remember getting a lot of SCR's, Triacs and Unijunctions at bargain prices. Amazing that the place still exists if it is the one you are talking about.

Regards.
David.
