    So the BHF are u1270 better off then!!

    There were a few at the Peaker pattision ex BBC archives auction the
    other day the Rogers one went for around 350 a Harbeth version around
    150! And i wasn't logged on at the time or else!

    Some old Studer tape machines 807 IIRC, made 1800 and a much nicer one
    made around 5500 and a couple of Nagra's in an extended mount system
    around 11K!

    Life in the old analogue dog yet it seems!...

    The pair the BHF sold looked in very nice condition, cosmetically
    and a light oak which a lot of people prefer (I do).

    For that price you could get a brand new pair of 'copy' BBC
    speakers from Wilmslow Audio ?.

    Often wonder if when I pop my clogs and the vultures come in to clear the

    actually worth? ;-)

    I've just had that recently about all that old "junk" in your office and workshop especially all the old speakers you have! a kind offer followed
    to clear out all that "junk" etc..

    But then came the question of;

    "By the way if anything happened to you would you like to be buried or cremated, as you've never said"!!

    Does anyone ever give that any thought?...

    Don't think Wilmslow do the 35/a as such they do bookshelf speakers
    maybe you meant Stirling broadcast who do make the 3/5a in more that one version;!..

    Think Wilmslow did indeed do a kit to make a full spec 3/5a. And I think a simpler one with a less complicated crossover. Think they were
    instrumental in having both the B110 and T27 remanufactured?

    I made a will in April 2020 and it was one of the questions that my
    solicitor asked - where to be buried, and cremations or special
    instructions.
