Still waiting for my little KB radio, if nothing by the start of the week I will contact the seller. I had it sent to a collection point but I have not had any notification other than it’s in the post, I should get an email when it’s available, I did call at the collection point, local shop but nothing there.

Now I did say I may live to regret this purchase, see what occurs next week.

I got bored for an hour, and decided to build something to frustrate the neighbours...

And why not Doz   ? 

I quite fancied a rather nice Philips G6 for a Christmas project, but distance and price are the deciding factors against it. (There just happens to be one becoming available in Stourport-on- Severn.)

A G6 will certainly help keep you warm over the winter months Doz.   ? 

You might even get a free X-Ray at the same time!  ?

Sadly, I think the roasting SWMBO would give me would keep me warm enough! Breaks the 20" rule too ... and it's not D/S

Lol, well I myself would love to acquire the set, but as I mentioned above, there are certain "difficulties" shall we say.  ?

Evidently my radio is in a warehouse in Liverpool, it was being delivered to a collection point, a shop open  early morning to late at night, the courier had difficulty delivering the parcel.

The seller is very responsive and probably as frustrated by this as I am. He will get back to me ASAP.

Its only £14 so I will still be able to have jam on my bread at tea time. ?

Unfortunately the seller cannot sort out the delivery, he has given me a refund and seeking compensation from the carrier.

I have to say he as been in regular contact and handled the problem extrembly well.
