These were from a vast quantity of QL parts I bought from a trader
living in East London, near Ilford I think. I have forgotten his
name -
can anyone remember? He died I believe in the early 90s.
Tony
Care Electronics...Ed Bruley perhaps?
No. He was working on his own. He bought a vast number of
components
and QLs direct from Thorn-EMI after the Sinclair collapse.
He used to sell components at ZX Microfairs.
I think he lived in Gants Hill, but not sure.
He was the primary source for the vast majority of QLs and parts.
Bill
Richardson based his business on his stock I believe.
Joe Atkinson? (must confess I don't know if he's still alive or not,
so apologies if the suggestion causes offence).
Not him.
Silly isn't it. I met him many times, and when I bought the stuff, I
visited him. There were large boxes full of QL parts everywhere.
It is what got me launched into QL hardware and repairs.
Syd Day?
Tony
Ah yes, Syd Day was on Quanta committee in the early days, and always
had all sorts of bits and pieces to offer. Mystery solved at last, maybe!
Definitely if he lived in East London (Gants Hill?) and died in the
early 90s.
Funny how memory works. I woke up this morning with his name on my mind.
My subconscious must have been working on it for the last three weeks.
