NVCF - 12th May 2019 - the BIG ONE

[ppppenguin]

By some miracle of space-time all the junk fine historic items fitted in my Skoda Yeti. Not a lot of space left over. Driving up today, setting up the Bring and Buy this afternoon. Staying at Rugby Dunchurch Travelodge so may encounter some of you there.

Look forward to seeing you all open your wallets tomorrow.

I was at the NVCF Tiday. Didn't buy much, other than some small components, test probes and a batch of MP3 encoded CDs, whuch will make an interesting listen, though it will take many hours to listen to them all.

Usual frantic day on the Bring and Buy. Haven't done a full count of the takings yet but the Vintage Wireless Museum will be getting a payment of comfortably over £1000.

Thank you all for being so generosu with your bringing and buying.

Because I travel to the NVCF by bus-n fact two buses, plus the NVCF Shuttle from where I live, I can neither bring nor take away large, bulky items. The latter is a blessing in disguise, since it means that I'm not tempted to buy things to add to the clutter both in my workshop and at home, though the former means I'm unable to take things to the Bring & Buy, etc. As to the few things I did buy yesterday, I was a little disappointed with one MP3 encoded CD I bought in a job lot for £1 - it's labelled 'Jonathan Shirley's Golden Age MP3 collection, and lists 125 audio files, but my PC , which reads & plays othe MP3 discs, informs me that the disc is blank.
