I was amazed to see an old Armstrong tuner amplifier still alive. Might be a 625?? I used to be in retail (Audio T) in that era. I remember that series being really unreliable. Intermittent switches, overheating, blowing up etc. We stopped selling them in the end. Sad really because they had a fair sound quality and when they worked, they worked well. Only the Goodmans Modules 80, 90, 110 were less reliable. These were famous, as one of the push buttons on the front panel was pressed, another would fly off. It was funny, but not a good trick to sell them.
very nicely presented thanks for sharing Paul
Best regards Shaun
Looks like a lot of interesting stuff and always fun to catch up with friends at these events.
Nice one, some interesting gear there. Hopefully I'll catch another show at some stage.
I wish I could get up there. My favourite is the little cream Philco. I had one of these years ago and what a great set. Thanks for sharing.
Very nice, liked the look of the little Roberts Green valve radio, shame about its badge missing. Was nice to see the TV's working.
I bought some yellow wire at the last one.
