<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New"
size=2> there are three companies that
I found the most useful in finding surplus vintage/analogue components in the UK
:-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2>..run by chap called Nigel.
He used to have a shop in Southampton..now just sells stuff from home. He has
list of his stocks on diskette..check out the website. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2> </FONT><FONT

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2>Run by a very nice guy
called Gerry Horrox....mostly tubes but other quirky items. He does still have a
bunch of old analogue components, though I believe he wants to
get rid them soon and concentrate on tube stuff. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face="Courier New" size=2><STRONG>3) technical and
scientific supplies:-</STRONG>

<DIV>Run by another very nice guy (actually a Physicist) called Roy..he has a
lot of vintage analogue items from the National Physical Laboratory. His
house/garage/ is stuffed full of amazing analogue equipment..much of
which he designed himself when he worked at the NPL. Loads of yer basic
analogue components at excellent prices PLUS he has </DIV>
<DIV>many chips (ttl logic+ analogue).</DIV>

<DIV>Hope this is useful to UK synth-headz,</DIV>
