Default Re: NVCF 2010 - Thanks to all!

I had a splendid time - thoroughly enjoyed it. I was doing very well - I'd only bought a bacon sandwich, a cup of tea and some components - until I went for a last sweep round before coming home. I'd noticed an old Advance D1, but at £20 I thought it was a bit too much. However, there it was reduced to £5. It's built like the proverbial brick outhouse. I almost had another heart attack getting it to the car.

The reason that I went for a last sweep round was to try to find a knob for a Pye radio I'd collected. Just to make sure I could identify the correct one I took one with me. I didn't find one, but when I got back to the car I'd lost the original. Now I need two :-(

The display of 'Grams was wonderful. I still want an A40RG, but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't a Fenman II RG.
