Battery Scan Website - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Apologies if there have been previous postings of the website below, but I thought it was worth a mention. The site hasn't been updated since Nov 2003, so seems to have become moribund. However, it has many scans of both transistor and valve radio batteries, and given that there are a number of members on the forum who like to make repro batteries, if they haven't already stumbled across the site, it might be of interest. (There's other radio stuff on the site, such as pics of vintage valve and transistor radios):

Yep--I contributed a lot of 'em! Bob and I had a pretty good friendship, then he backed off for some reason. Haven't heard from him in years.

But, on the good side, it's what got me into making batteries.
