Surplus RF components like attenuators, couplers, detectors, coax adaptors, Bird power meters, switches, packaged amplifiers:
SSE RF Products http://ssejim.co.uk I've used them several times and found the items exactly as described. David

I used to live pretty close to this tool shop and if you email and ask perhaps even American screw thread taps.

I assume by American you mean Unified Fine (UNF) and Unified Coarse (UNC) threads?
If it's taps you're after I can recommend these suppliers:- http://www.tracytools.com/ http://www.tapdie.com/

If you need the right looking resistors and capacitors for that vintage amplifier then I can recommend the Hi Fi Collective and the Tube Amp Doctor. May be a little pricey but being a bit bigger size have the right look, and not quite so fiddly.

Just ordered a drive belt for the tray on my Philips CD602. This site was the only place I could find that did replacement belts, http://www.ajhills.co.uk/be-cassette-player-belts.shtml
£3.99 for a 38mm square belt but P+P £3.50 is a bit steep, but hey ho. |

CP Lighting have a vast range of bulbs / lamps. Have bought some very hard to get bulbs from them twice in the last month. Prices are better than elsewhere too.

Hi, recommended UK supplier:-
http://www.smallbattery.company.org.uk My Casio watch has two different batteries, both of which had expired. As 5 years ago Casio charged £15 to replace, this time I decided to replace myself, although not straightforward as a retaining cage is used, which appeared difficult to release. A local watch repairer advised he had neither in stock, but could order for around £5 each. Thus I ordered midday Thursday from the above website and they arrived early Friday. Total cost - £3.34. ![]() Regards - Mike |

I used to use Quarndon (www.quarndon.co.uk) a lot in the 80s and 90s. An excellent source for integrated circuits, many engineers used their well-printed datasheet catalogues. Their name does not crop up much nowadays.
But they are still in business. I found them again yesterday when I was searching for some slightly scarce transistors. I ordered at mid-day and they arrived this morning, recorded delivery. And the devices were a lot cheaper in this case than auction site alternatives. Very reasonable delivery charges as well (£2.75+VAT), very professionally packed. Not an enormous range but well worth a look. Jeremy

Recently recieved some very good quality PCB's from a company in China. Artwork was prepared in KiCad, and sent as Gerber. Very good communication, sent me confirmation of recieving files, Quote for manufacture, confirmation of payment recieved, and confirmation when started manufacturing PCB's. Then confirmation they were complete, along with Photos of the completed boards, and shipping details, including tracking number and sent by Belgium post Phewww!! Recieved boards just over 1 week after sending order, and they were very high quality, double sided, solder mask both sides, and one side silk screened. Pictures found at https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...9&postcount=14 They have soldered up with no problem, and exactly to my specifications. Price was $44 USD including shipping, for 10 pieces 80mmx80mm Storefront is DIYGSM (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/208170) tedchen163@yahoo.com Usual bit here, I have no connection with the seller, and can not be held responsible if you dont have as good a service as I recieved. regards Peter

Mainly aimed at lighting restoration, but a useful source of cotton covered cable in a range of colours, also handy for some obscure types of lampholders and thread adapters etc.

I have just purchased a couple of switched pots from this Ebay supplier.
http://harrisonelectronics.co.uk/ They do quite a range of single, dual and switched pots with log and linear tracks. Unfortunately they don't appear to do 500k (470K) or 1meg switched log pots (at least at the moment) which are values we commonly require. The pots have 1/4 inch round shafts (not standard flat) which are 55mm (2.17 inches) long. They use the standard fixing thread, so if you loose the nut, the one off the old pot will fit. The shaft is plastic, not metal, but that can be an advantage giving extra safety in live chassis sets. I paid £1.75 each for my 2 switched pots plus £1 postage. Although that is cheap the quality looks quite good but only time will tell for sure. ![]() Colin M |
