Andy, hi there. No nothing yet from you.
My email shown on my profile IS correct, but as I said to Keith, there is a size limit (2MB, maybe as much as 5MB) for MT email addresses.
Cheers, OldLes.

Hi, Old Les,

Confess started in the trade making the '6K7' portable receiver sometime in the early 50's from 'Practical Wireless'   Had the thought at the time that battery options using 'D' series might be more sensible, but also bought 'Wireless World' with meagre pocket money, where serious thoughtful folks were the biz so couldn't complain.

'PW' at the time was also known as 'Camm's Comic' for some reason.

As to current repairs  Just go for it, learn by experience  Chris.

Ah! I thought everybody knew why "Camm's comics". F.J.Camm was the editor of Practical Radio, Practical mechanics, Practical Householder (I think) and various other Practical ***** magazines.
There were hardback books too; I have "Model Engineering Practice" in front of me right now. That 1957 edition also cites 24 other books "by the same author", though with the range of topics covered by that particular list, I can not believe there was not a fair bit of "ghosting" taking place.
I used to take WW from time to time, but even pre-war copies I recently picked up were largely "over my head" for a large proportion of their contents.
But I am learning slowly!
OldLes.

Hi Les,

Confess Wireless World was ever well over my head, and probably still would be with all those Carbon nanotubes, String theories and many other dimensions where one might meet oneself but with either several /or no heads/or any jolly creative bits.

Seem to recall, our FJ invented a 'built in' Camm driven bicycle pump (Practical Mechanics) for folks with a slow puncture - Never got such stuff in 'Radio Contructor' it was just 'Dicky and Smith' - bit like the 'Archers' but with no instant death, just leaded solder and Mercury switches thought to knobble us later.

Then, in the 60's we got generous X rays, but some good Test Card films - still surviving and trying find another old 'Bull-Nose' Morris to sort  - Chris.

Hi Sinclair,

I thought 37 inch tubed flat screen Toshibas were a bit big, but your entry gives the needed perspective.

Will never complain again, even about hernias when there's a local black hole we can chuck such sets into.

Much relieved, waiting for the pensioner bus to the centre of things  - Chris.
