Anyone know what's happened to Ray Sutcliffe & GPO Spares? - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

This excellent supplier seems to have disappeared, and his website has been "temporarily" offline for months now with "Suspended" as the tab title. An e-mail has gone unanswered. Haven't tried phoning yet.

I do hope he's OK as he was a real gentleman to deal with and his products were second to none and very keenly priced.

Anyone got any info?

Nick.

I get this message:

The site will be off-line for a few weeks for re-stocking.
My regular customers can still contact me on my
usual phone number or email.

Thanks for your patience... Ray.

Yes, me too. But it's been like that for literally months. Maybe a phone call is a sensible next step.

OK, I've just phoned Ray. Poor chap didn't sound himself, and has apparently been seriously ill since Christmas.

He says he's still "doing a bit" of work supplying phone spares, but I suspect that his stock will dry up and that will be that.

I do hope he makes a good recovery.

Nick.

Can anyone help me as I wanted to contact Ray Sutcliffe, but it appears his site is unavailable at the moment. Does someone have a contact number please?
