Yes folks it's DAT time again or put another way, Dangerous Adapter Time.

Once again it is the time of year to pull down from the loft all those Christmas decorations that seem to have been around for ever. You know what I mean. All those 50+ year old sets of 'Fairy' 'Gnome' 'Snowmen' and other dodgy looking characters from our childhood that would now be considered very non PC by the miserable brigade.

They of course would not be complete without the fascinating array of BC double and triple adapters, Pifco interference generating thermal flashers and the usual dodgy wiring. What fun!

This year it will be a Ferranti Christmas with my restored 17T4 taking pride of place in the living room.

From a bright but very cold West Sussex I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a safe and healthy New Year. Regards, John.
