Does anyone know what became of the company near Brighton or Hove run by a Mr Bull - J&N Factors, I think?

Last I heard, they were assuring customers that they were not closing down - that must have been about three yaers ago. Over the years, I bought quite a lot of stuff from them, particularly vintage bits.

Just did a quick GOOGLE and found

I think this is their website (I used to buy lots of items via mail order from them years ago, they always had a full page advert in everyday electronics. AKA John Bull electrical)

http://www.bullybeef.co.uk/

quote from their website:-

"Bullybeef is the web site of Bull Group Ltd. We originally started trading back in 1945 under the name "Bull Electrical" when we specialized in surplus electronic items."

It looks like they sell allsorts these days.

Oh well, written at the same time as reelguy.
