I wonder what became of them?

[they were, as far as I know, entirely unconnected with A.H. Thacker of Cheslyn Hay staffs, but someone may know different].
Indeed, I remember AH Supplies , I was a teenager at school , keen on radio and valve electronics , an interest I got from my dad. I bought some good things from them , with pocket money from mending tv’s in a local shop. I remember a Marconi TF144G ( huge heavy and beautifully made sig gen that I recall worked quite well) and a huge 19 inch rack regulated HT psu. A few quid each I think. I sold them when I left home☹️
