All done and dusted.

No great surprises - little interest in domestic radios, little interest in most test gear apart from valve testers, which for some reason, many seem to want to own. (Lot 897 - Taylor 45C £140). Lot 895 TEK 485 dual trace 350 MHz scope £2.00. Marconi TF1313A Bridge £20. The EC10 made just £35.

Overall, given that as with so many auctions these day, live bidding on internet was possible, the prices attained for most lots seem quite low to me, but then there is the buyer’s premium and VAT, and the cost/hassle of getting it home by one means or another. Too many old timers or their next of kin disposing with too much old tat to too few buyers in a declining market I guess.
