Well worth a visit.

http://www.radarmuseum.co.uk/

Just spent a very interesting 3-4 hours there. Lots to see, and almost
certain to be of interest to many posters in this forum. Some very
knowledgeable volunteers there as well.

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......

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.

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

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.- Hide quoted text -

Thought immediately I had posted - someone will think I meant RRE (Royal
Radar Establishment) - but at the time it was Travel Round England.

Oh, I know that. Not the point, really.

DIYBanter is leeching off this newsgroup and making money out of us.
People using DIYBanter should realise that.

Why not auction it and see. Even old 2M valve scopes are still quite
usable as 2nd scopes for less demanding apps.
