Default Re: 2010 Scottish Meet & Swap

Once again Trevor & Anne have put together a superb event and in good weather too. It was very nice to meet some familiar faces from previous meetings and to chat to some news faces too.

A couple of interesting teles accompanied David and Frank to the meeting. David's being the small but incredibly heavy EKCO, this being the deluxe version (with sound receiver) of the silent standard model that he brought last year. Frank brought the chassis and CRT of his console Ultra in which he has successfully rewound the EHT overwinding. Also interesting was his RACS rebuilt CRT which looked bright and sharp.

During the afternoon Frank and I made a visit to Bob Baird's museum in Sorn just down the road. Bob has a fascinating collection of TVs and radios and loads of curiousities.

I've put a few photos from Trevor's and Bob's here:

But couldn't resist adding the "Mine's bigger!" here as a sample.
Many thanks to all who contributed to a very enjoyable day but a special thanks to Trevor and Anne.

Peter
