Kaytronic Southampton is still there but other than what is in the
window I don't know what he has, I don't think he does either. Anyone
know of any shops or even regular market stalls anywhere in the UK still
(my interest got started with a regular market pitch with electornic
surplus when a little kid). Hamfest/Radio rally sites once a year ,
around the country seem to be the only hands-on outlets these days


Dunno if they are still on the go, but their shop was always worth a
rummage around. Lots of bargain bins. ;-)

Roughly that area there used to be such a shop on the road between Kingston
and Surbiton , not far from what is now Kingston University. Last time I
went in there it was current computer stuff only though.

There used to be a shop in a residential part of Bournemouth , but could not
find it when I was last in that area.
