Marconi coincidence!
My neighbour popped into my garden workshop yesterday for the first time. He saw the Marconi 2955 radio test set in operation on my bench and exclaimed: "Good heavens, I wrote the software for that in my first job after leaving university! I never thought I'd see one again, and certainly not in my next-door neighbours' house." We've been in the house for 10 years and never really talked about interests or jobs.

Re: Marconi coincidence!

I guess there are bits of kit we all wish we could see again from our early careers Cheers Mike T
