Don't miss A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols which is broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 on Christmas Eve at 3pm. It was first broadcast in 1928. Now listened to by millions of people around the world and for many is the beginning of Christmas.

I bought this pair of 1950s "Lustraphone" C51 mics in junk shop back in 1985. Not working sadly. Might make useful props for a theatre show or filmmaker somewhere. Offers invited.

Mains filter capacitors have a finite life. At the death knock they go with a bang. Built back in '83 this old STUDER A810 tape machine blew up on Sunday filling the room with smoke! See the one in the middle of the three we removed. #StratforduponAvon
