I don't think it matters which Gestapo it it is: Welcome to the new world order.

It is interesting to note a news item tonight, pointing out that on finding a cure for the verge of finding a vaccine to kill an early carona virus.The one's that were doing it had their money cut off.

Perhaps Andrew's has gone early on banning gun & bullets sales

Thanks Pete. I'm always on the lookout for late fifties sets as I like the timber look.
They look like the TV version of a mantle radio.
The sets from the sixties mostly have plastic facias and just don't appeal to me as much.
Having said that I would still like to get my hands on a Pye Pedigree but Ebay has made sure they are stupidly expensive.
I've been watching David Tipton's YouTube video's which has made me want to upgrade and organise my workbench as his puts mine to shame.
Plenty of things to do during lockdown.
