I would like to Thank Mike (Mikebay) for the rather nice PYE subject of this thread https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/showthread.php?t=124151

It was a pleasure to meet Mike and have a wander around his shack I just wish I had a few more hours to spare.

Mike and his XYL made me feel very welcome.

Thanks Mike the PYE will be with me for quite some time :thumbsup:

I am sure Mike will be relieved to hear I got back in time to prepare a nice lunch for SWMBO.

Cheers

Re: The Thanks Thread
 

My thanks to "terrybull" for the little Pioneer XC-L7 system I picked up today. It's a stylish mini system that sounds pretty good to my ears with a CD playing as I write. It should cheer up the sound from the ghastly speakered holiday cottage compact LCD TV no end when I get a suitable lead!

Re: The Thanks Thread
 

I would like to thank Richard (Dickie) for sending me a donor Dynatron Tourist to help repair mine. Greatly appreciated.

Re: The Thanks Thread

I'd like to thank Glyn (Welsh Anorak) for sending me the Roberts tech specs and trader sheets. Really nice to have the originals. I will of course make them available to other forum members as long as it doesn't conflict with the forum rules regarding service info.

Thanks Glyn

Kind regards

I would just like to thank the kind gentleman that gave me a break and found the time to give me the advice and guidance I needed to complete my repair. I have probably aged him 10 years, I even had a bit of a telling off in red ink! But once again thank you very much - you know who you are.

This was another family heirloom so I am very pleased to be able to report that we have it up and working. As far as I can tell it dates from 1933.

Thanks also to Herald1360, UKCOL, Cobaltblue, Merlinmaxwell, and Andrewausfa who all contributed to the discussion and the outcome.

Many thanks,

Re: The repair of an HP LaserJet 4 printer.

My thanks go to Terry, M0TGX; Peter, Dragonser; Kalee 20; Tony Duell; David, Radio Wrangler; Sean Williams; Cheerfulcharlie; Michael, Yesnaby - and also to anyone else who I appear to have overlooked: my sincere apologies. There were so many members who offered advice and suggestions that it has been a bit tricky trying to re-trace the appropriate posts and threads.

By way of a summary report, I have made a brief thread in the 'Success Stories' section.

Thank you again, Nick :thumbsup:
