I was fortunate to make friends with a Dance Band Leader, Ken Mackintosh. He resurrected my love for playing the Alto Sax. He showed me how to play properly and then allowed me to play lead Alto in ...
This is one of my Ekco sets, A28, probably the best one made. Several short wave bands and the usual Med and Long. New capacitors throughout and a new EM34 magic eye. The set performs so well. You ...

I do a lot of work with other engineers, an example being Colin Baldwin of Cool Solutions. In this climate, it is very common to see electronic gear damaged by illegal occupants. this is a classic ...
sadly, we don't have to use this too much these days. The odd old TV comes in from time to time, sometimes donated by a nice customers. There have been times when I have been offered a large non ...
