Hi from the West Midlands

Post by veedub565 »

Hi,

My name is Ben, I live in the West Midlands area and have a general interest in vintage technology. This extends from an old BBC micro, some cold war WB1400 kit, and old test equipment.

I've a background in the mobile phone repair industry and now work for a large cal lab, so I see a big variety of equipment passing through. I like some of the old Racal stuff like the 5643 multimeter and frequency counters with nixie tubes, love nixies though it's not something that was ever taught when I was doing my HNC (mid 90's)

It's a bit like being at work when I play with stuff at home but I still like to dabble and slowly turning the spare room into a small workshop.
