These days, as I wander through shops in the high street, magazines, e-bay, 'real' auctions and such like, it is very apparent that there is a growing demand for the 'products of yesteryear' - and ex-WWII receivers and such-like are no exception. As far as we, here, with our collective interests are concerned, this has to be a 'good thing'. Not only does this resurgent interest reduce the number of old radios (of all types) from going to into the skip, but keeps the knowledge of valve technology alive. About one year ago I was in the company of some of my wife's ever-so-literary friends. When I was introduced, "Oh, so you're the radio expert!" came the thinly-disguised & admiring response. Many years ago, the tone would have been more along the lines of "Oh no! Not another weirdo anorak!"
