Hi.
I believe all account holders were lettered. Alan Harrison I've been told was quite distraught with the news and spilled the truth to my friend Bob who had been a customer for nearly 50 years.
I now no longer refer to my days in the "trade" as the "trade" no longer exists.
My feeling is it went due to many different things.
The cheap imports have to be number one.
Young people don't understand the word repair for number two.
Manufacturers not supplying service info or spares number three
Engineers doing home jobs and charging a fiver killed many repair shops number four
Customers screwing you to a price that made it better to stay in bed, number five and the last nail in the coffin.
RIP the Radio & TV service trade
