Well worth a visit.
Cleared up one little thing that had always been beyond my limited electronics theory from many years ago, pulse-echo time compared to speed of rotation of the aerial.
Several rooms had that smell of bakelite and varnish used on old equipment, R1154/R1155 anyone......
Nectar of the gods.
Did they have the feint smell of Jeyes used to sanitise the floors?
That would be T1154/R1155 I think.
Lovely big coloured knobs (oo-er)
Shame it's where it is. Mother worked at TRE (Malvern) during WW2 and I am sure she would love to visit. But it's a long way for her.
The 1154 was the transmitter of the pair thus T1154.
On a marginally related subject is a valve oscilloscope made by "Waveforms, radar works" likely to be of interest to a collector?

On the subject of old tat (if you'll excuse the hijack)
I'll probably be throwing out a couple of Superbrain computers next week unless anybody wants them ?
A *real* centre of excellence. Nnow a well known supermarket - or at least a public enterprise of some sort - goes by a stupid PR name of qinetqintiqinttinttiqqiti or something. I knew it was all up when the the relatively recent boss of the place was actively encouraging public time sharing on their computers! Sorry OT.
Local school ? Might be useful for showing how it *used* to be before 'tinternet ;-)
Otherwise
Angle Grinder ;-)
Qinetiq (pronounced kinetic), the defence/security bods?
Thought immediately I had posted - someone will think I meant RRE (Royal Radar Establishment) - but at the time it was Travel Round England.
(Pretty good apologising for being OT in an OT thread. :-) )

DIYBanter is leeching off this newsgroup and making money out of us. People using DIYBanter should realise that.
I've x-posted this to somewhere they may be loved.

OK - my email is valid
Why not auction it and see. Even old 2M valve scopes are still quite usable as 2nd scopes for less demanding apps.
