There used to be a Tandy shop based in West Ealing. Opposite the McDonald's restaurant. I still remember seeing all the jap crap stuff in there :)

Their hot selling big Jamo speakers had that typical 90's look about them.

I seem to remember a Tandy there. Can't remember visiting it though. I used the long gone Ealing Broadway one a few times.

I can't even vaguely remember the Ealing Broadway branch.

There was also a big cash converters shop, right on the other end of West Ealing. This was at a time, when LS3/5a's was selling for £30!!!!

I remember Les at RTVC really well, they did a lot of god drivers in there. I bought lads of Son Audax from them at one time. I frequented Edgware Road a lot in those days, the best place for real hifi parts.

I remember a shop in Acton, my Dad took me there a couple of times, but I can't remember the name. They also used to advertise in magazines. It might have been RTV Acton. I might find a few old Practical Wireless magazines to check.

Just got Practical Wireless out, April 1965, page 1175, avert for Radio and TV Components (Acton) Ltd, 21 High Street Acton W3. This particular advert is for a portable radio, the Elegant Seven at £4.4.0

always gobsmacked at how these arse wipes actually think that peeps will believe their bulls doo doo...

I had been watching these for a few days and as I went to see the mighty Wrexham play Cheltenham ( Boo) , I forgot to place a max bid of £50!!
Was it a bargain ?? :scratch:

Quite cheap but they are not vintage Celestions unless mid 1990s now counts as vintage. Which it doesn't. That range had mixed reviews and post-dates Celestion's move to China.
