I do hope this is the appropriate place for this:

I have just started using flickr this morning and will add pics as I get around to uploading them from the camera.

(I already had a Yahoo i.d. hence I'm not Philsync for the purpose of this exercise)

Oops! The blond, wooden German is not mine! Nor, for that matter, are any of the steam locos!

I simply uploaded a whole folder and its contents. The rest of the radio sets are here though!

Nice collection, John. (I presume it's John - always thought you must be Phil

)

What is the big German radio, by the way?

How does the website work?

Nick.

Hello John,

Nice collection, that French radio is really nice ...... by the way if you really want rid of the TR82DL I'll buy it off you cos I haven't got one

Phil is the name preferred, John is the one that appears on my cheques! Not that it's as simple as that, but I answer to either name (and several other forms of address too)!

The flickr photo-sharing thingummy is part of the Yahoo operation, I found the details in the eBay thread about posting pictures and decided to give it a try.

It's dark now, but I'll get many more pictures taken and posted on there over the weekend. Maybe a few more of the shiny things and a picture of the warehouse that used to be the garage.

Blimey, you haven't got one? how on Earth can a chap buy so many TR82 type sets without a DL figuring in their collection?

Joking apart, I'm actually very fond of that TR82DL, I sold the set last year some time, then a while ago I sold a Sov II to the same, local eBayer who bought the 82DL (one of two here, the other still awaiting a chassis overhaul). I had promised that, if he wanted another radio, I would consider giving a part-ex allowance for the Bush. So back it came but this time it's probably staying around.

You wouldn't want that 82DL though, it's pretty near perfect so you'd get bored having nothing to do!

The little French set is indeed an attractive thing, it's even more green in the flesh than in the pic!

Hello John,

Nope, the TR82DL is the only TR82 I havent got, Ive got all the others including 3 TR82CLs (one is still turquoise cos it lived in a dark loft for 40 years) but I have yet to find one like yours ! And a perfect one would be ideal

You think I enjoy cleaning up these old radios ?

Howard,
You will be offered first refusal if I do decide to sell the set (again), or when the 2nd TR82DL is done and of merchantable quality. But I am rather fond of the set that couldn't stay away - it's as though that one wants to live here, or is that too daft even for me?
I may get a photo (getting back to the "pics of my stuff") of the garage/laboratory/warehouse posted to flickr tonight in spite of the darkness outside. There's no window in there anyway so it shouldn't make a difference.
