The arrival of a wee brush, and a great tweak for Techy fans...

From earlier....

So I'm rather happy with both of my recent purchases - the Michell clamp (soon to be replaced with another vintage one, as Dingdong's bought this one) AND the little sweep brush. Happy days! :cool:

Ok, this little chap has now duly been purloined from eBay, and is currently winging its way to Marco Towers:

However, I had to pay bloody £85.00 for it! :doh:

Still, it's quality, and I feel rather nicer than the modern ones available - so that's Mark and me both happy chappies! :cool:

Bloody hell Marco!
That's not all that vintage, you know. I should have hung on to my old one for a bit - you could have had it for.... oh I dunno, £84

Hehehe.... That's good to know, Chris! For me though, it's WAY nicer looking than the ones made now, and I'm sure every bit as effective, so it's a win-win :)

Also, technically, it didn't cost me £85.00, as Mark paid me £40 for the other one ;)

I paid over the odds (£35 I think) for an original Ferrograph de-gausser, to match my Ferrograph model 632 reel-to-reel. And then there was the £200 near mint Nagra power supply for the Nagra IV-S, when perfectly good third party alternatives are available for about £40.
