Default Re: Golborne (Manchester) Swapmeet 12th November

Thanks to all concerned in organising and staffing the event - a special thank you to Mike Barker, Jim, and Chairman Greg Hewitt, (and anyone else who transported and unloaded the van, packed full with mountain of test gear, valves and radios for sale at ridiculously low prices. I hope that they didn't have to take too much away with them!

These events are splendid for anyone who is starting out, to get together test gear such as a scope, signal generator, mutimeter, and lots of sets - especially 'woodies' with easy to work on roomy chassis as first restoration projects. Good to see Steve P 'back in business' as 'Bodgit & Scarper' licking a nice Portadyne 'woodie off the pile into shape. By the time of the 2 minutes silence at 11am, it was up and running to sound the last post from the Cenotaph.

Really nice to be able to hook up with a few forum chums for a chat.
