Fantastic Digital cable, I should know as I've got one. He might very well ship to the Uk if asked. Potential bargain price.

Lol, just little kiddies!
I love the style of the boxes then used for valves. Kind of reminds me of Standard Fireworks, from the 70s:
Awesome colours... Now that's when fireworks were fireworks, and when bonfire nights were fun!

None of you pussy fireworks like you get today, this thing had three tubes & each one shot out three air bombs, & they sounded like bombs!
What a racket
Must admit though, the best as a kid was at a fireworks party at a friend of my fathers. No idea how, be he managed to get hold of one of the rockets that they fire when calling lifeboat men to the station
It was like thunder, must have been heard for many miles, & this lovely green parachute glowing like I don't know what came gradually floating down from what appeared to be miles up
Never forgotten

Thunder?
When I was a kid, living in Central Africa in the mid 70's we used to get the most outrageous Chinese fireworks. There was one legendary night on the balcony of our house when a neighbour (an adult at that) placed a thing called a 'Thunder Bunger' underneath a large oval shaped enamelled steel pot.
Said pot proceeded upwards in short order to visit the great panel beater in the sky and returned after what seemed like minutes, clattering to the ground. On inspection it was found to be more round than oval and with several bulges to the base.
The next logical thought was "What if we try two?"
The pot went into orbit and was never seen or heard from again.
Oddly enough, there was also a strangely coincidental outbreak of bushfires that night, with our house at the centr, & which razed one or two square kilometers of sub-Saharan African Savannah to the ground!

Actually I guess most of us here know nothing....
Obviously I was saying that the thing I heard as a kid was loud, very!
But we know nothing of bombs, really, I know I am, & we all should be kind of thankful that we don't know what a little bomb, 100lbs of high explosive goes off like at fairly close quarters
I'd say "thank god", but I don't believe in him, that we have had relative peace since before I was born.
Something that I reckon we take for granted unfortunately.
Big apologies for the off of ebay topic
No more from me unless it's an ebay bargain

No, sorry
Just having a pleasant evening Chris, maybe I just hope we don't see what our parents did back in the early 40s.
That is what I hope...
Yeah, I'm thinking too deeply
I'll be fine tomorrow...
