Wootton Bassett 2nd December - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

ppppenguin · 21st Nov 2007, 10:38 am

Less than 2 weeks before this event. Time for folks to jot down what they're bringing and collecting.

BRINGING
Tatty Ekco U243/1 for (I think) G4SPZ
Tatty HMV1910 for (I think) Neil29
Regentone Radiogram with RC70A changer. Jarl Ayari may want the changer. Otherwise I'm trying quite hard not to take it home

COLLECTING
Nothing so far!

Paul Stenning · 25th Nov 2007, 2:28 pm

I have just uploaded photos of some (but not all) of the auction lots plus the auction catalogue as of today (260 lots) on the BVWS website here http://www.bvws.org.uk/auctions/woot...2007/index.htm.

The star item is an original Marconi Coherer dating from between 1895 and 1905.

As noted on the page, commission bids (from BVWS members only) will be accepted at the discretion of the auctioneer. Contact Mike Barker to arrange this.

Hi All,

Just to make sure everyone has the full details about the Wootton Bassett event on Sunday, here they are:

The BVWS Swapmeet this coming Sunday 2nd December will be held at:

The Memorial Hall
Station Road
Wootton Bassett
Nr. Swindon
SN4 7EE

Nearest Motorway junction is M4 Junction 16

Doors open for stall holders at 10:00 to load their tables.
Doors open for all visitors at 10:30

Entry fee is £3.00 per person and the usual festive warm Mince pies will be on the door!

There will be a large auction starting at 12:30 with viewing beforehand.

There are currently 27 stalls booked, so what with the Bring & Buy tables in the annex, we are full.

The usual array of hot food and home made cakes etc. will be on offer by my Mother in the Kitchen.

I look forward to seeing everyone there on Sunday,

Mike...

ajs37 · 27th Nov 2007, 5:36 pm

This will be the first one I've missed for quite a while - I have to go to a family gathering in the emerald isle for a few days (wifes' side!)

Have a good time everyone - hope you find what you want!

Cheers
Andy

Paul Stenning · 27th Nov 2007, 5:46 pm

I know how you feel Andy. I had to miss the last one due to our house move. I will definitely be there on Sunday though, probably helping with the auction.

I don't think I have anything to bring with me. Steve_P has left some video tapes with Mike for me, I believe.

No, Jeffrey, it's not for me - I won't be there I regret to say.

Phil

ppppenguin · 28th Nov 2007, 8:29 am

To whom did I promise that tatty Ekco U243? I thought it was G4SPZ but I was obviously wrong. Can somebody put their hand up? Please

If nobody claims it it'll come to WB anyway and put on the B&B with a request for a small donation to the Museum.

Station X · 28th Nov 2007, 10:09 am

See this thread:-

Paul Stenning · 28th Nov 2007, 9:40 pm

I'm confused by that other thread but if it is for G4SPZ I could bring it from WB to Hereford for him.

I have something of a red face...

having agreed some while ago to give the radio a home but having no opportunities to collect it at the time, I was unaware that kind people were still thinking of ways to get it to me, and I had completely dismissed it from my mind! Age, overwork, I blame them all... but many thanks for the offer of help. I'm glad other members' memories are more effective than mine!

Paul, if you were still willing to bring the set back to Hereford I can make arrangements to collect it from you, reimburse any expenses, and make a donation to the Museum of course. I am most grateful to you for your help.

Thanks again all,

Phil

ppppenguin · 29th Nov 2007, 8:50 am

So it wasn't me going mad after all. (I know what you're all thinking but I know already

)

Duke_Nukem · 29th Nov 2007, 9:17 am

Well, on the bring side, the list is so far :-

GMB : Tektronics scope trolly
Paul Stenning : DAC10 + Fergy 203

Two telly cabinets for Graham Gosling

On the collect side :-

Chip1968 : Fergy 951T cabinet

TTFN,
Jon

No problem. I'm wondering whether Jon is closer to you though?

Organise the donation to the museum directly with Jeffrey (probably just post a cheque straight to them).

I have added another photo this morning. It's the very last one on the page (also linked here) and is of a GEC BT1093 9" bookcase 405-line TV, which I believe is quite rare.

Sure, Paul, will do.

Jon's place is about 30 miles from my home, but Hereford is closer to my work in Worcester, hence more convenient for an early evening collection if that's still OK with you Paul.

Thanks again,

Phil

Paul Stenning · 29th Nov 2007, 11:29 pm

That's fine Phil. I'll contact you next week once I have it here.

Steve_P · 29th Nov 2007, 11:38 pm

They are rare. The Bakelite one costs more, though. The GEC sets like this are a good example of a set that is better than a TV22 but was not worth as much!

That one looks a bit rough though. But muck cleans off. As long as the tube is OK (I am sure it is) then it will make a good set.

Cheers,

Steve P.

ppppenguin · 30th Nov 2007, 9:38 am

Revised list

BRINGING
Tatty Ekco U243/1 for G4SPZ via Paul Stenning
Tatty HMV1910 for Neil29
RC70A changer for Jarl Ayari (Andi) via Jon Evans
Radiogram without RC70A - Setsappeal (Andy)
PCs for Amberley Museum (via Brased if John Narborough doesn't get there)
A few bits for the B&B

COLLECTING
Still nothing!

Dave Moll · 30th Nov 2007, 9:14 pm

Seeing mention of the B&B, is any help required with it?

I have some items for the B&B, and am willing to assist with it.

I am hoping to pick up some Philips VCRs for repairman1234 if they get there, likewise some Betamax VCRs for TimS and myself.

Paul Stenning · 1st Dec 2007, 8:22 pm

I think the WB B&B is usually fairly well manned with three people looking after it in rotation. However you could ask if they would like to take a break for a while.

Bringing
Some TV service data for Jon

Collecting
Tatty Ekco U243/1 for G4SPZ from Jeffrey
Two radios from Jon
Some Eurovision video tapes from Steve_P currently stored with Mike Barker
