Default Re: Lisle St

Like so many others, I too have very fond memories of Lisle St. in the late 50's & early 60's. I bought far too much stuff from there. Like a good young man, when I eventually got married, I disposed of it all... However, in the last 50 plus years, I've got most of it back again!

I once lugged a 19 set back from Lisle St. on the underground, not to be recommended.

There was another very interesting used electronic equipment dealer, round the back of King's Cross station, also long since sadly gone. I bought a military Avo 2 - panel valve tester from there for £15.00, and a BC221 for £5.00, both of which I still have.
