Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
I got mine this morning, plenty of good articles to read in there later today.
P.s why do I get visions of Tim Hunkins working television bonfire at the end of the “secret life of the television” program looking at the cover of the magazine Christopher Capener

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
Well, I can honestly say that in my 21 years of receiving the bulletin, this has to be the best yet. It has something for everyone. Vintage radio, classic radio, TV, grams, test, collectables and historical articles. Well done to everyone involved, particularly in these restricted times.
Neil

Haven't seen that - is it anything like the "Rosebud" bonfire at the end of Citizen Kane?

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
Got mine too, I must wait until after tea, SHMBO has made her signature beef in red wine casserole, it is so delicious one can't stop eating it. And after that a gentle read is about the only thing you can do. Perfect timing!

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
Indeed! Though normally a lot faster arriving but certainly worth the wait.Guess they go in batches.

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
Hi,
Cracking Bulletin as always. Good to see an appearance of the Denco MTO. 1 in the Bulletin. I bought one of these from the BVWS stall at Tonbridge a while back, it came complete with a receipt from RADIOSTRUCTOR dated June 1960. Terry |

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
I really appreciate all the reviews folks but I've been socially distanced from my copy in terms of enforced residence in the south since mid March. Yes my brother could easily post it to me but there's nothing as powerful and rewarding as anticipation is there? As you all indicate
I shall look forward to Thwaites beer and reading the Bulletin upon my return. Dave [It is a great core of the Society and I'm so pleased we've kept the name. Many thanks to the team!] |

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
You should find it worth the wait - an excellent range of articles.

Re: BVWS Autumn Bulletin
+1 here also.
Particularly appreciated the Brimar update... And having the minutes of the committee meeting is interesting, too. Who knows, might inspire others to express an interest in joining! And the Denco Modulated Test Oscillator - I knew it existed (bought a Denco catalogue around 1977) and knew it operated from a 9V GB battery. I'd assumed it was an old transistor design, before PP3 / 4 / 6 etc. Veneer knew it was a squegging valve circuit. Great! |
