Hi David, another fascinating post, i lived in Gloucester, before coming back home to Yorkshire, the point of me mentioning this is Daystrom- later Daystrom Slumberger, or as it became Heathkit, had a factory on the Bristol Road about 2 miles from me, i knew a few of the chaps who worked there, the factory made kit form products, that covered a multitude of items, for the radio inclined person. They made kits from Oscilloscopes, signal Generators, multimeter kits ( i have one ) also a nixie tube call it digital Multimeter, also a transistor tester ( i also have one of these). I found there kits were not the best, but if you made it, it seemed to last, interesting to note the Americans like things brought home if there is any money to be made in it, this is sad as its a further restriction to the constructor, yet again, thanks for a memory jolt from the past...kind regards....Alan.
