Had one of my regular visits to John Birkett's shop in Lincoln last week. Always a delight to spend time browsing through all the old equipment and spares etc and having a chat with John and the group of his friends who always seem to be in the shop talking about all things radio, electronics etc etc. I make a point of buying something every time I visit. Only spent £2 this time on 10m of radio tuning drive cord, bargain !!! Last of the big spenders !

The opening times are often variable and I attach a pic of the latest times posted on his window. Long may the shop remain open.
