And most of us smoked too! What amazes me is that I have a VO2 max. of 52 currently. That's remarkable for one of my advanced years
As does mine Jim we have let the amazon firestick into our home! I'm sure it spies on us!

Check out one of the Classic Car Spots on the Mick and Bob's Stroll. The very same little Austin Seven graced the pages of "The Shortwave Magazine"......

Of course Peter but needs announcing to a more general audience than the Vintage Audio Activities thread, needs putting on POTD! Wilco Roger and out!
You know the "illegally parked" stickers private parking companies put on your windscreen? The come off easily with lighter fluid. If you have sensitive skin wear rubber gloves.CitroJim wrote: ↑06 Sep 2020, 06:58Gosh!

Shops like that are now virtually extinct sadly... Look after it!
The Internet comes up with the goods so easily it's driven shops like that right to the brink. Amazingly, almost everything you need is available for old radio and audio stuff. Still lots of NOS about. It's easier to find a part for a 50 year old Leak amp. than it is for a ten year old Citroen...
Yes, good point well made! Especially as most capacitors are replaced because they've gone leaky...
Paul, I have a vague belief they can be a bit of a 'mare when they display an 'E'. Something about the backup battery that maintains the memory having failed and caused the memory to loose all its data. The memory needs to be reprogrammed... An interesting one. Let me do a bit of research on that
James, thanks! That's worth a try. I do have some label remover but I'm very allergic to it so cannot use it. Goodness only knows whats in it. It smells very strongly of oranges...Hell Razor5543 wrote: ↑05 Sep 2020, 19:25Try spraying that £5 label with some isopropanol alcohol (if it would not adversely affect you, Jim), let it soak in, and then see if (with care) that label will come off. You might need a few applications of IPA for it to work.
