What time is kick-off on Sunday please?

ISTR it was 11am last time as the hall was in use earlier on, same again?

Greg

Sean Williams · 25th May 2011, 10:06 pm

Indeed - this is the case - there will be refreshments available in the Kitchen as before....

Sean

Paul Stenning · 27th May 2011, 9:40 am

I am now coming along, though won't be bringing anything vintage to repair, so will have more time to mingle, help and chat.

I will bring my laptop and printer again, with copies of my service data DVD-ROM, and can print out copies of any service data free of charge (within sensible limits of course).

Also for those attending I will be offering the Vintage Radio Service Data DVD-ROM for £25 (normally £40) and the Valve Data CD-ROM for £8 (normally £12), or both together for £30. You also save on the postage! This is strictly payment by cash or cheque (with guarantee card) on the day.

Sean you have a PM regarding payment.

Paul Stenning · 27th May 2011, 10:05 am

Location information etc is in post https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...&postcount=164 from the previous workshop thread.

glowinganode · 27th May 2011, 9:03 pm

I'm bringing a TV for Phil and some bath tubs for Chris.
Any other requests?
Rob.

Sean Williams · 27th May 2011, 9:17 pm

Ah, Chris is finally starting on the en suite!

Tina will be pleased!

onewatt · 27th May 2011, 9:41 pm

Hmmm!

Does my head look big in this?

a223bfg · 27th May 2011, 10:00 pm

Is anyone bringing a forklift to bring Chris's herd of AR88's in to the hall ?

Phil

onewatt · 27th May 2011, 10:26 pm

Hi Rob

You wouldn't have a 5651A V Ref for my HP 606A sig gen would you? It has a load of zener's in it at the moment. It has other issues but I was going to brung it along to see if it's going to be serviceable.

I have the R107 to continue with and maybe a domestic set if I have time,
Cheers
Chris

onewatt · 27th May 2011, 10:27 pm

I've managed to add a couple more since the last outing!!!!!

Michael Maurice · 28th May 2011, 9:16 am

I'm coming but might have to go for a couple of hours, as its my mum's birthday and she wants to go out for lunch.

And of course you all know where I'd rather be...................

Sean Williams · 28th May 2011, 8:17 pm

We have another attendee - Mick Plowright - will be bringing an AR88 to play with......

See you all there tomorrow

Sean

Sean Williams · 28th May 2011, 10:12 pm

Seems Brian and his chum are coming as well....

Going to be a busy day!

See you all tomorrow!

Sean

Maybe, I'll have a look.
I'll be a little late arriving I'm afraid, I've a couple of DIY jobs to finish before I'm allowed out. See you about 13.00,
Rob.

Sean Williams · 28th May 2011, 10:31 pm

Thats it, no more attendees - 15 in all attending on the day - lets see what we can fix this time!

Sean

Andrewausfa · 28th May 2011, 10:38 pm

I'll bring another Strad.....

Guitarist28 · 29th May 2011, 9:40 am

Hi Sean and all attending the workshop,
Unfortunately I'm not well this morning and I'm sad that I shall not be joining you today.

Have a great day.

Regards

Rob

Sean Williams · 29th May 2011, 10:44 pm

Hi Rob, sorry to hear that - will PM you later.

A great day, and my thanks to all that attended and helped out - doubtless there will be one or two piccys appearing eventually.

Cheers
Sean

slidertogrid · 29th May 2011, 10:49 pm

A grand day out !

I managed, (with help) to sort out a little Argosy set and helped John to fix a Philips Valve clock- radio , missing knobs, live chassis! that is some alarm!

I had less luck with a R.A.P set I took along, someone has really had a go at this !
Thanks Sean and Sean's mum for the bottomless teapot!
Paul, I will sort the rotton Dansette......

eventually....

Rich
