Thank you to Qualityten for the VTVM (it was triple packed! I've had bad luck with MC meters in the post lately, so this one compensated for it!)

A big thank you to Graham aka SunSPARC for the 9600 & the 2 CRT's. They will give my Thorn 9600 & my 2000 new leases of life.

I just wanted to drop a quick thank you to CambridgeWorks for a great selection of useful BSR TD2/TD10 bits and bobs. It was all expertly packaged and delivered promptly and safely. It'll certainly keep me amused for ages. Many thanks!
