Default Re: Royal Wootton Bassett Sun 9th Dec!

It was an enjoyable day and the weather held. Nice to meet up with various forum members. I bought an enormous Ferranti clamp meter from the B+B stall which has already seen service at work!!

I didn’t get too much in the auction though I got the Tefifon radio player which is in excellent order and have had it playing Tefi cartridges over the last weekend. The sound quality is amazing for something 60 years old. I managed to get some cartridges for a previous Tefifon player from a chap in Germany which then did 2 Laps around Europe getting lost before being delivered in Rugby! Hopefully some pictures soon!

I also got the TMB272 mains/battery 405 line telly which came with the battery leads. I now have a power supply capable of running it on 12V DC to see what would happen!!

I also got 2 pre-war Murphy radios for £5 that no one wanted. A shame these sets are a bit unwanted and go fo so little nowadays.
