Massive Spring clear out - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

kalee99 · 12th May 2019, 10:19 am

Hi all,
Loads of wireless sets for collection. Mostly pre-war & complete (no scrappers).
Also 3 of 4 Clark & Smith School sets (working).

Selling all the above at £5 each. Buyer must collect and sorry I cannot help with removal other than provide access, as I have heart failure. Moving on to smaller / lighter sets.

This is a genuine sale, no junk or wormy sets. I need to clear the workshop of all the heavy sets. They are only a temptation to me & I end up moving them, then get a free trip to A&E.
Contact me via PM for a quick response. The sets are here in Sunny Northumberland.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi Paul . Sorry to hear you are downsizing due to ill health I swear these sets didnt weigh as much 30 years ago.

As always interested in Cossor sets I don't have examples of and I will be in the Newcastle area in a few weeks, just means I could drive instead of fly if you had sets of interest.

Cheers

Mike T

Yes I agree.
Got a smashing Cossor set or two for you if you want them?
Paul.

Yes, sorry to hear that you're not well, Paul.

What are the C&S sets, please?

Nick.

Hi Nick,
One is the AM/FM set with the EM84 magic eye. The other is older with AM only & a EM34 magic eye. They both work & are very very heavy. I cannot move them. They would need to be collected.
Best wishes,
Paul

Very sorry to hear of your misfortune, I wish you all the best for recovery. I would love the C&S sets but Newcastle is impossible for me. I did once live in Whitley Bay and have very fond memories of there and Newcastle. There was an electronice shop there which I spent many hours browsing in, was it Aitkin Bros?

Hi All,
& thank you everyone for the massive support. Most stuff now all gone and only a few boxes of valves left. I think this thread can now be closed down.
Thank you everyone.
Paul
