Hi all,
On the subject of old radio shops, can anyone tell me if HL Smith & Co, in the Edware Road, are still going? Cheers Aub |

Re: Old radio firm still going.
Y'all may have noticed the adverts in Radio Bygones that Sound Systems of Suffolk are about to close down forever. I used to call in for a little retail therapy. e.g. a goody bag for £1. Specifically, I bought a valve output transformer at one time.
Still time to grab an item or two from them. Graham |

Re: Old radio firm still going.
Alex,
Thanks for the reminder about GWM radio in Worthing. Haven't been over that way lately but that shop is definately worth a visit. Last time I went they had a couple of old studio type tape recorders. I remember {Just } When all radio component and surplus shops used to be like this.. Must get a 2008 diary and make a note. Peter W.........Reelguy |

I worked at Smiths in 1972, in the store.
