WOW! That 4212E is epic. I remember seeing that one in the HiFi World article “Know your Triodes”. 84W on the filament alone……. build an amp with 2 of those, and with the rest of the circuit - HT supply etc, you won’t need heating during the winter! :D The 833a (Russian GU-48) filament is 100W (10v...

I had my X ray result a few days ago, and they have passed me fit.

I'm back to about 95% now, just need a bit more exercise.

Thanks for asking.

Just got to Skegness.

Spending 7 days supporting Jean in her bowling endeavours. It's the EBF (English bowls federation) national finals week.

It's eased off a bit, so I'm hopeful it'll eventually disappear, he said the majority of cases do. Can but hope!

I was heading to TankFest at Bovington, BTW.

And a jolly good place to visit, I'm sure you enjoyed it Ray.

I'm back home as of Wednesday evening.

Lowest point was hearing the man in the next bed get told by his consultant that he was riddled with cancer and had (probably) only weeks to live.

Just need to get fit again now.

Update.

I'm still in hospital, fit enough to get up to use toilet facilities.

Getting antibiotics and nebulisers daily, but hopefully may not be here much longer.

I've seen the specialist just now and he is concerned about my chest and has arranged for me to have a scan.

Hi all, just a short message. I had noticed that things were getting bad, but when I got to falling over and incontinence issues set in Jean called 111 and the paramedics came. So Sunday I was dispatched to Burt st Edmunds A & E and I'm still there, probably for several more days as well. I coul...

Two different situations.

I'm still trying to find "official" information on the situation regarding modern vehicles.

DVLA have issued a "call for evidence" regarding the registration of historic vehicles. The FBHVC (Federation of British historic vehicle clubs) are issuing a response, and invite interested persons to view their answers. Here is a link, no personal details needed to view the document. htt...

From what I gather, DVLA seem to be making efforts to make the modification of motor vehicles away from manufacturers original specifications illegal.
