Re: What's in your loft - in boxes or otherwise?
Nope, my inheritance and I aim to keep them as to me they have no monetary value and the radio spends a lot of time in the bedroom I use when I'm over there and actually gets used (just an addendum though it's a VHF64).
As for the records the only one I can remember is The Three Little Pigs from Disney. |

This thread also connects with "When my collection takes over!" I would suggest-see my post *5.

Re: What's in your loft - in boxes or otherwise?
Perhaps I should then point out why they are up there then!
The Sherwood was withdrawn from service, is in working order. The 3272 is beyond repair. But I can't part with it, as it was my first deck. I suspect, if I ever become famous, that after I have gone it will be worth millions! Just as something rubbish that Shakespeare owned would be today! The Leak is such a beautiful design that I won't part with it. This particular one was given to me in a none working state by my brother-in-law. I loved it when he bought it. And envied it. Because I could never afforded it at that time. I had to settle with a Ferguson 3440. It just doesn't compare!!! The turntable is a nice looking model, which could be connected up, but I don't have the space for it downstairs. The Tuner doesn't take up much room. But is not worth much anyway to sell. It has no sentimental value either. |

Re: What's in your loft - in boxes or otherwise?
Loads of stuff. Ones that I can remember are a VIC20 and a Wren, various 80s hifi but also a pair of homebuilt seventies speakers with Wharfedale drivers, a telequipment portable scope that runs off nicad C cells and has a CRT, some other test equipment like a Wayne Kerr component bridge and AF and RF sig gens. And loads of car stereo stuff from the eighties / nineties. Topped off by my old CB rigs and a fair number of the bits of my 1953 Moggie Minor.
