  • This is just a walkround video from Sunday 4th Dec 2022 meet and auction. I filmed as much as I could without getting too many faces in the video. Normal service will be resumed shortly!

    Thanks for sharing this George! What a great collection of unique and vintage radios, parts, valves, etc. I would have been like a kid in a candy store! I could have dropped a fortune in there! I have nothing close to where I live to find anything like that. For the most part very fair prices too!

      It was a real mishmash of old and new, complete sets and parts. I did manage to sell a signal generator and I spent the money on some interesting stuff in the auction. I really am glad to have gone. They hold various meetings around the country over the year and I try to go to as many as possible. The star of the auction was a 1920's set that sold for almost 3 grand!

    Thanks for uploading this - It was a good day. Buying stuff is always good, but the meeting up with friends is priceless.
    Great to see you there, hopefully more folk to meet up with at the next one, although Colin made it there too, and even Simon came full-cycle...

    Nice video George, came up on the home screen. Stuck your title into google. wonder where it was, village hall, a bit old school with the stage, got one down the road, local centre, similar time I bet. So not a million miles from me. Royal Wooton Bassett.Got a hit on the BVWS web page. Been up that way on an organised bike ride from Swindon, some older ugly leisure centre on outskirts. Can get into Swindon repeater on a handheld when on a walk and a bit of heigh out of town, did earlier!. amatuer radio thing. I like the old radios, the clubs radio rally always have a few of the old school sets, mostly Amatuer radio stuff and electronic, new as well, This a bit different, lots of MW, LW recievers, very nice. Some dear Hewlett Packard test things there.

    Thanks for filming. Several items in there I would have leapt on. Pity there isn't something like this in my part of the country

      Most of us have to travel for it. Next year there are a couple more local to me but even the distant ones are great to see friends at.

    Hey George, if I didn't know better I'd think I was watching one of RadioWIld's events in New Jersey. LOL

    • @GeorgeChristofi
      @GeorgeChristofi  Рік тому

      Similar events but squarer boxes! Very few Zenith's! I just thought I'd wander round with my phone taking a bit of video.

    Looks like a fun time - couldn’t make this one. I see the vintage wireless museum had their stall up.

    • @GeorgeChristofi
      @GeorgeChristofi  Рік тому

      Yes, they have the stall at all of the events. Next one is the AGM at Biggleswade which is local to me so I'll probably be there for that.

    A lot of good stuff there and at reasonable prices! My “local” meets are fairly pathetic and extremely overpriced so I have stopped going.

    • @GeorgeChristofi
      @GeorgeChristofi  Рік тому

      I didn't in the end Bill, but I did buy a box of radios in the auction. I have yet to empty the car though so I don't actually know exactly what I got!

    Did you manage to get some roberts or was the prices a bit naughty :-D
    It seems that blokes have the most interest.
    Did you repair all the radios you had in your shack that needed love?.
    Its a good hobby, good for the brain :-D

    • @GeorgeChristofi
      @GeorgeChristofi  Рік тому +2

      To be honest Harvey there were very few woberts or hackers around there. I have come nowhere near repairing all the radios at home yet and still they arrive by post... a box of 6 more from ebay today!
