The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

Basically, It's small enough to carry on the train, but SWMBO would be without her Arabic radio for the weekend... so I'll have to ask permission...
Good point about the drunken gits..
Sunday morning is usually a quite time..

Let's hope those mini speakers get a pass out, they where good

I don't recall us ever having any tannoys at a meet..( I'm sure I'll be corrected) I'm looking forwards to hearing them

They were Tannoy Devon speakers. I connected my 13E1 SE Alexandra Palace amp to them and the sound was fab.

I remember them too Dave. And I remember Andrew playing 1no. 17 mins long classical track of a challenging nature. I'm thinking it might have been an Eggy?

The Tannoy PA horn thing was at Eggborough. Andrew had got the loud hailers from a railway station that was upgrading its announcement system . Don’t know what the speakers were that were underneath them.

The Devon’s were definitely at Owston as I PM’d him a couple of weeks later wanting to buy them off him.

Think there were some at Owston too, twin identical drivers in a horn cabinet.
