Thanks Andy and everyone so far! It's a bit of an enigma.

My Father was a Control Engineer for the South of Scotland Electricity Board at Dewar Place, Edinburgh. He built our first television set from scratch in 1962 - 63 and I remember watching it with my brothers, sitting on the cold lino....

He lost half-a-crown in the back garden in 1967, so he built a metal detector to find it (which was unsuccessful - I found it in the 80's with a commercial detector). He had many projects. His love of classical music led to the purchase of an ex-Army radio, from which he recorded many programmes on his Grundig TK5. He ran an HF aerial from the shed (early man-cave) to the top of the house - 150ft and listened in to many conversations and Russian jamming stations.

I'll obviously try to do a bit more with the current subject, but there really is an awful lot more to show and try to get some identification on.
