Great guy - very obliging and often sourced hard to get items not listed on his site.
I think there's really only Peter at JAB left now of that ilk, and of course Wilf at Bowood, who is a really nice guy, and carries limited stocks of things of interest such as pots, and Bardwell's still soldier on. But for vintage stuff, such as caps and resistors I try to use Savoy Hill when I can - I think small outfits are to be encouraged. Of the rest, I favour ESR, Cricklewood and Spiratronics.
Regards, David.
