Vintage Communications Fair
There may be some of you that share my perverse interest in vintage (i.e. decrepitly old rather than from the very recent 1980s) wireless and gramophone equipment, which is fascinating and fun from engineering and aesthetic perspectives as well as fidelity. If so, you should attend this:

Which I guarantee will be more exciting than mowing the lawn, washing the car, visiting the in-laws and washing up the Sunday lunch.
Tube rollers may be particularly aroused.

I went as well and had a great day - I didn't even buy too much!
However, I have spent a worrying amount of time since looking at Decca Decolas on t'internet after hearing the one that the BVWS were playing - that was amazing!
