    Thanks for posting.

    Brings back loads of memories. Used to visit Tottenham Court Road and Lyle Street in London to purchase components or ex military radios for home build stuff. So many different speaker drivers to choose from 😊

    Also built Heathkit radios and test gear such as a grid dip oscillator. The transition from valves to transistors was quite a revelation.

    I've a memory that places Heathkit more or less opposite Lasky's on Tott. Ct. Rd. I built their 12" speaker kit in the mid sixties which I bought from there.
