A brilliant day and once again many thanks to Mike for his excellent hospitality and extreme generosity!
Great to spend time with all the regulars, John W, Lee, Tim, Alan etc plus Hamid and Robert. Some interesting 'patients' on the dining room table included the resurrection of Gary Platten's impressive Philips K70 plus a highly successful bit of tube boosting for my tired Philips 300 series b&w set, tempered with a 'dead parrot' verdict on the clapped tube in a 24" Invicta. The hours flew by helped by copious amounts of tea and cake plus a decent pint at the Drum & Monkey.
Plenty of vintage programme material throughout the day although I can't remember laughing at anything as funny the egg-boiling sequence in the spoof science show 'Look Around You' for a long long time!
