[Frank:] They're not really are they, the Chinese or... Oriental dancers?... I don't think so anyway, they seem to be... A lot of cars at the school this morning.... I parked right on the end of the erm... the lane, just
[Lyn:] Mm
[Frank:] in, there was just enough room for me.
[Lyn:] Mm?
[Frank:] Course we were late anyway... well not late for John's but...
[Lyn:] ... Which way do you go
[Frank:] When I came back
[Lyn:] into?... Cos you can cut through that
[Frank:] I turn round and go back, yeah.
[Lyn:] Mm.
[Frank:] And of course the coach had come up the hill... couldn't overtake where I was parked, blocking off the entrance to the lane where I'd just come out of so that the string of cars coming down the road and the first one wanting to turn in and of course the coach had covered it.
[Lyn:] Oh yeah
[Frank:] It was completely blocked off... coach couldn't go backwards because there was cars behind it. So I gingerly walked down and crept into the car realized that I was the one that had caused all that
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] and drove off [] [LAUGHTER]
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER] And ignored []...
[Frank:] Slinked off into the mist....
[Lyn:] So he couldn't back back then
[Frank:] No... no that wa that was it, completely stalemate.
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] big Volvo estate was facing if he'd go down there, I can get through and he can come back again and he wasn't gonna do that.... Too much brain damage
[Lyn:] there's a big notice at the end of the lane which says
[Frank:] Well he'd come up from Totnes this morning.
[Lyn:] Oh, yeah. What they usually do is they go up and then back down by the church
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] and turn and go back again.......
[Frank:] Mm?
[Lyn:] ...
[Frank:] It is eight o'clock though [LAUGHTER]
[Lyn:] Mm... Perhaps I'll do some gardening.
[Frank:] Did you do away with your or just put a plank over the top?
[Lyn:] I put back so and then I put against the fence....
[Frank:] Oh Alex came in today.
[Lyn:] Ooh [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] Yeah
[Lyn:] ...
[Frank:] Well he's got... he's got plenty of money, right? And er the car arrives... I looked all I could see was mother sitting in the car and puffing this... smoke puffing out through the window
[Lyn:] Mm.
[Frank:] and erm... in came he'd had a... a little tiny switch out of his black and white telly
[Lyn:] Oh yeah
[Frank:] and he said it's a and the switch won't work. I said how long have you had this set? He said ooh about six years, I said yeah and the rest.
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] I said where did you get it from? He said well... I used to work at I got it from. I said how long is it since you retired from?... Said ooh it'll be erm eighteen years this year.
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Frank:] I said you've bought this since you left? Well I was trying to find how old it was.
[Lyn:] Mm
[Frank:] So he said oh no since I left. I said well I, I'd still reckon it's about ten years old now. Oh no it's only six years old.... fix the switch on I said you'll never get a new one anyway.... And... oh they were talking about Rod they was... they were saying that, you know, about Rod getting married
[Lyn:] Yeah?
[Frank:] Well I said well how old is Rod?... I dunno he said er Steve how old's Rod?
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] I said well come on you're his dad, you should know how old he is. So he went out to the car and asked mother... how old is Rod? She says I don't know... [LAUGHTER] don't remember having him [LAUGHTER] mind you I remember having him but I don't know... I can't remember when it was.... He's thirty something....
[Lyn:] Hard to put an age on him....
[Frank:] Ray was thirty eight
[Lyn:] Is he as much as that?... Mm....
[Frank:] Well it must be ten years ago when he worked for the B B C and that, he must have been in his late twenties then
[Lyn:] Mm....
[Frank:] so... anyway he's he's engaged and... it's taken him two years to get engaged... so it's gonna take another couple of years to get married.
[Lyn:] Yeah....
[Frank:] He's still got the M G and it's got three twen twenty three thousand on it now. It's
[Lyn:] Mm
[Frank:] S reg, got it from new of course,. And some chap came down from the M G B Owners' Club and said he'd offer him six thousand for it.
[Lyn:] Mm
[Frank:] But he said he thought that was price cos he said it's worth at least ten... the mileage originally, you know?
[Lyn:] Mm.
[Frank:] it's absolutely like new.
[Lyn:] ?
[Frank:] Mm?
[Lyn:] Where did he get it?
[Frank:] He bought it from brand new somewhere,
[Lyn:] ...
[Frank:] In Devon, yeah.
[Lyn:] Mm....
[Frank:] He's got a Metro at the moment they're driving around in, she drives, she passed her test at sixty eight.... So... he's seventy eight now she's probably about the same I think.
[Lyn:] Mm....
[Frank:] But they had a Mini before the Metro and er... the day they bought the Mini they saw an advert in the paper saying that if you buy a Mini in the next few days give you a free colour portable with it.
[Lyn:] Oh.
[Frank:] Of course they didn't get the portable with this, they rang them up, said where's my colour portable...... said I'll put you on to the manager... anyway they had some deal that night that erm to launch this Mini Mayfair or whatever it was... wine and cheese thing... so he went to the wine and cheese thing... and worried he was gonna kick up a fuss [LAUGHTER] so they gave him a telly anyway [].
[Lyn:] yeah....
[Frank:] He's a penny pinching old bugger he is, god!...
[Lyn:] I can't quite imagine
[Frank:] No.... coming back in a minute.
[Lyn:] Yeah... What about?...
[Frank:] The dust wagon came up to the warehouse today, the usual... they'd got halfway to emptying the first dustbin in the back
[Lyn:] Oh yeah.
[Frank:] and the hydraulic hose on the back of the dustcart broke... there was hydraulic fluid all over the
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] all over the car park. So the driver said can I use your phone? He came in... and trampling this brake fluid all over the carpet.... He got through to the... base camp to find out when the... chap was coming to fix it.... Five minutes later he came in trying to tell... tell us jokes and each time he'd been paddling through this brake fluid and the carpet is just... you know, brains
[Lyn:] Mm.
[Frank:] Hand picked for the job I should think. Well we didn't notice the footprints until he'd left.... Mm.
[Lyn:] ...
[Gerry:] Yeah... of course once they get to know where you are
[Frank:] This is it
[Gerry:] and you don't o do you open weekends? You don't open Saturdays now?
[Frank:] We don't, no.
[Gerry:] No. Are you going to?
[Frank:] No we don't.... I dunno, we're thinking about it but, you know it's erm
[Gerry:] Well if you're doing enough to keep you both happy and keep it
[Frank:] Well you see we're a bit further from home now and if we can do it for five days, great, we haven't
[Gerry:] Yeah

[Frank:] Well this is it isn't it? Mm.... A little improvement certainly wouldn't hurt.... Make sure this doesn't kill it stone dead.
[Steve:] ... yes.
[Frank:] No with these is extra, is, there's on the main board so I think I can get away with just one...
[Steve:] Varying degrees is it? [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah Phillips usually put two of these on but... Right-y-o blast off....
[Steve:] ... innit?
[Frank:] That's a bit more like it.... Cor yeah....... ready...
[Steve:] See those are cheap sets we can probably buy them for about twelve quid apiece couldn't we?
[Frank:] Yeah... that's right.
[Steve:] You can always get... twenty five quid off the trade [hiccup] double your money, quick easy money....
[Frank:] Yeah.... That's not a bad is it really?... bit of blue perhaps... bit more like it innit?...
[Steve:] Ooh.
[Frank:] Cor, fair near jumps out at you....
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] Compared to what it was it's bloody brilliant innit []?... She'll be well pleased with that....
[Frank:] Yeah it was a big over to the main you know that...
[Steve:] and had a look at the, the but... Right, whereabouts down there
[Frank:] Erm
[Steve:] Oh it's down there
[Frank:] That there
[Steve:] Ah
[Frank:] was really black.
[Steve:] Yeah....
[Frank:] That's that actually I'll do I'll do th no I've just been round most of those.... I'll do this end as well I think... be on the safe side.... I've been right round the lot anyway so that's... jolly good....
[Steve:] over a period of time can you,
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yes that's it []. I think some do.
[Steve:] Yeah,...
[Frank:] Did you say it's from out of town this one?...
[Steve:] industrial estate... she lives down somewhere.
[Frank:] Oh this one is?
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Oh.
[Steve:] Yeah. She phoned this morning... and I said I can't come and collect it cos I'm here by myself she said oh I'll bring it in, that's alright, no problem but er we're going away to Gloucester at two o'clock
[Frank:] Oh I see I
[Steve:] oh I said we'll try and see if we can get it done I says, so
[Frank:] Oh I see.
[Steve:] I said if it doesn't come in at two anyway and I'll lend you something
[Frank:] Mm very good.
[Steve:] so...
[Frank:] Oh well that's good, right.
[Steve:] otherwise we'll go down
[Frank:] I think we could let her off this time....
[Steve:] that's er all your overheads paid innit?
[Frank:] That's right, yeah.... I think Ian used to sell these things, whatever they are.
[Steve:] Yeah that's what I said he said no it didn't come from me he said but I think they did used to sell something like that. He popped in a couple of times.... His missus earns nineteen grand a year.
[Frank:] Pardon?
[Steve:] His missus earns nineteen grand a year at the bank.
[Frank:] Cor!
[Steve:] And he gets about, he didn't say what he got but it's over the twenty three thousand drawings that er they're worried about the level of er tax, you know, for the next
[Frank:] My goodness.
[Steve:] So he must, they must get forty grand a year
[Frank:] Between them, yeah.... Well I did a proje projection for the erm guy at Nationwide, I said well it's probably gonna be about a hundred and fifty grand turnover... and about twenty five to thirty percent clear, you know
[Steve:] Ah
[Frank:] net profit.
[Steve:] Which is about right I suppose, yeah.
[Frank:] So I said I said my share'll be about twenty five grand roughly so he's quite happy with that, yeah.
[Steve:] Yeah cos I mean... come the winter we'll... we won't know ourselves.
[Frank:] We will, I shall have to stop playing golf again.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Frank:] Still it hasn't stopped me yet.
[Steve:] No.... I took erm bank the other day I took hundred quid out
[Frank:] Right.
[Steve:] so... I mean you would still've got your golf thing out
[Frank:] Oh right
[Steve:] money out there and I had the hundred quid that
[Frank:] Okay
[Steve:] that I gave Alan so
[Frank:] Oh that's alright then.
[Steve:] we're all straight.
[Frank:] No we seem to be s
[Steve:] wages cos we've been giving ourselves under wages over the last
[Frank:] That's true, yeah it's all worked itself out hasn't it
[Steve:] really.... I took the two videos off the shelf and re-boxed them and as soon as
[Frank:] Oh yeah
[Steve:] come back I'll put on the shelf. No my friend's in the trade I said they're basically working but they've got a halt on somewhere because they've come back you'll have to sort out the you've got but er they're only one ten
[Frank:] Yeah. I think they both actually probably work it's just they couldn't figure out the... programming on them....
[Steve:] you know?
[Frank:] Yes. Yeah.
[Steve:] I mean if I'd had the money
[Frank:] I think so.
[Steve:] first did it, you know and er
[Frank:] Yeah. And Jim, when he comes in, they're both, they're both all, I've pr priced them up on the top and er
[Steve:] Oh they're done are they?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Oh you
[Frank:] Yeah that's, that that's yeah they cured that fault, yeah.
[Steve:] Yeah, that was the springs off.
[Frank:] That was the springs off
[Steve:] Oh that was the springs off
[Frank:] heads clean, that was the belt that was gone
[Steve:] Oh yeah
[Frank:] plasticine.
[Steve:] set back in the... inside?
[Frank:] Yeah. But I told him about the telly that it's a bit beyond... redemption. Mainly for where it's lived for the last three or four years I think....
[Steve:] Well yeah.... If your person don't have the er over there, I think Gary's helping out this week, he might
[Frank:] Well I can always ring Bob and er confirm that.
[Steve:] Oh it was Bob weren't it?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] And then if he don't want it then... [phone rings].........
[Frank:] [singing] dee dee dee dee... dee dee dee dee []...
[Steve:] thanks very much... ta ta... council.
[Frank:] Yeah? That's very nice of them....
[Steve:] Yeah well we, we couldn't push for a new [LAUGHTER] []
[Frank:] No, no
[Steve:] I was just happy to
[Frank:] Well yeah it's...
[Steve:] You're recording now are you?...
[Frank:] Yes, I've gotta
[Steve:] Well you've got to get, get something on haven't you?
[Frank:] gotta get these tapes filled up.
[Steve:] How many tapes have you got to fill up?...
[Frank:] There's twenty tapes altogether but
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] there's no way I can fill up twenty tapes. I don't speak that much [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] No... Should have had one in the bedroom last night with next door upstairs. My god she was making a racket.
[Frank:] Was she?
[Steve:] Cor!... Grunting and groaning
[Frank:] Really? Oh that sort of a racket yeah.
[Steve:] Yeah that sort of a racket, oh dear.
[Frank:] Well next door but one are having erm double glazed back window, you know that main... lounge window and the... the guy's parked halfway across the drive with the van, left it there all in disarray... you can just about get your car up and round and... brains that some of these people No.
[Steve:] Hmm neat little telly innit?...
[Frank:] Yeah, it's er... it's only
[Steve:] Not working?
[Frank:] it's only frame collapse.
[Steve:] Oh... well done then.
[Frank:] service switch... ah! Hang on... that's interesting... [LAUGHTER] Yeah []...
[Steve:] If the worst comes to the worst Dave's found a place where we can get new tyres for about twenty five quid each for the M G.
[Frank:] Oh yeah.
[Steve:] He's still trying to find some... he's phoned a bloke in Plymouth see if he can get them.
[Frank:] That's a nice tyre we got for the erm caravan for ten quid.... It's er
[Steve:] would be nice cos they look ni we had on the other white M G and they're a nice
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] . The other one's all arrived over safely and the bloke's driven it and he's all happy with it
[Frank:] Oh good.
[Steve:] and waiting for his next one to come
[Frank:] Oh marvellous.
[Steve:] Er
[Frank:] Is he selling them over there?
[Steve:] No he's keeping them for just fun cars for himself, he's just got the money to burn over there
[Frank:] Marvellous
[Steve:] so... he's only, he's got a... one of the new... B M W seven three five that er no the big Merc, a big new Merc through that's right, not the... the latest Merc so he says er er he's a bit disappointed with the brakes on the M G but... Dave said they were a phenomenal brake for an [LAUGHTER] M G he said []
[Frank:] Yes.
[Steve:] compare it against the latest Merc
[Frank:] That's right.
[Steve:] ... He's all
[Frank:] I expect
[Steve:] he's all been paid all his money and
[Frank:] Mm but it's good in a way that he's got his money because he can sort of, sort of finance ours
[Steve:] Well yeah he is, he's got a little bit anyway
[Frank:] till we, yeah yeah, I should imagine he is.
[Steve:] quite a few bits and pieces.... It's getting Kevin in to finish it off. I phoned Kevin, I've got Kevin's mum and dad's phone number off Dave and phoned at home but he's gone out for the day or something they said.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Steve:] But he's got to strip the bonnet so Dave said well I'll get my lad to strip the bonnet this afternoon and er... you know, few hundred quid for the day we'll be glad to be able to finish off doing them and... He's got too many
[Frank:] Yeah cos you haven't been able to
[Steve:] to play with really er we c to clear ten we've still got two and a half grand left
[Frank:] Have we?
[Steve:] and so there's twelve and a half grand we're owed
[Frank:] Yeah yeah
[Steve:] so if he charges, you know, fifteen hundred for his bit and then another grand to finish it off we're still clearing ten, you know,
[Frank:] Oh well that's good then.
[Steve:] we might even clear a little bit more than ten but
[Frank:] Bit more than ten, yeah.
[Steve:] I mean if he charges two and a half I wouldn't be disappointed cos it's been in his garage, he's pushed everything along and he's always so
[Frank:] Yeah, oh and he's been pretty reasonable hasn't he?
[Steve:] we're all going out for a drink with yourselves I think.
[Frank:] Good. That sounds like a good idea.
[Steve:] ...
[Frank:] Me, I don't drink.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] No don't drink [] any more
[Frank:] Not at this moment.
[Steve:] starts tonight dunnit?
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] It was funny []
[Steve:] I'll see if he can arrange the old erm
[Frank:] the guy's er filling out the form for the er mortgage and he's er... said non-smoker? Yeah, yeah and Lynette yeah non-smoker, you know. When we got outside I said I couldn't very well offer him one I only had two left in the packet [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] That makes quite a difference on your policy, the premium
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] if you're non-smokers.
[Frank:] She laughed, she thought it was hilarious.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Couldn't really offer him one....
[Steve:] Ah the well known tube company of... Shung Wa
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []
[Steve:] Toshiba tubes
[Frank:] Chung Wa yeah.
[Steve:] Chung Wa
[Frank:] Wonder where these are made, oh Taiwan....
[Steve:] It must be the big companies that have gone and set factories up mustn't they?
[Frank:] Yeah. I tell you what, what a beautiful little chassis that, I mean that's
[Steve:] the technology just from a
[Frank:] I mean that's so easy innit?
[Steve:] It's beautiful innit? Easy to work on.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] All you've gotta do is find out what's wr gone wrong with it.
[Frank:] Well I should think it's this little frame chip here, I'm
[Steve:] Oh
[Frank:] I'm gonna check all round I mean I should imagine that's what it must be.
[Steve:] Standard one is it? Or something weird.
[Frank:] Well it's bound to be something weird I suppose.... fifty, oh... looks like a five five one thread...
[Steve:] A N?
[Frank:] What do you make it? I think that's
[Steve:] Well have a look.
[Frank:] I'll get the t the torch, that's what I want probably.
[Steve:] Ah... yep, perfectly correct. A N five five one five... you won't have one of them in stock will you?
[Frank:] No.... Have a check see if the go in that direction, pretty sure they do. [singing] la la la la la []... yeah, that's it, that's the frame output chip.... I think I might just give it a solder over because it's er a bit dry in that area.... Oh yeah....
[Steve:] That's I've done all of that plus them others you
[Frank:] Yes I'll just try these erm... solder up this service switch and er... everything else seems alright, there's no anywhere, mind you it's nine times out of ten it'll...
[Steve:] Oh quite a nice design innit eh? The leaves are long enough to...
[Frank:] Yeah... I can leave the speaker off for a minute.... I can just about get in behind without blowing myself up I think.... No, that's what it'll be then
[Steve:] ... Yes, okay then... thank you.... That's alright... or anything... just ask for what you want and... that's it.... Oh you wanted something else did you? [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] That's alright, that's something in Gerald's little telly, it'll probably need one of those little but I'll, I'll look it up first, check it out first.
[Steve:] ...
[Frank:] I'd better be sure cos this... it's not a cheap one that one so that
[Steve:] No alright.... It's no problem.... [singing] Well that'll be the day []
[Frank:] Lexy's not coming up till, what the weekendish?
[Steve:] Wednesday Thursday Friday
[Frank:] Oh right.
[Steve:] should be here today... the old
[Frank:] They did very well there actually didn't they, overall? I mean er we did alright as well but
[Steve:] Yeah. Oh they've only gotta get the two... done and they've got their money back haven't they?
[Frank:] Yes, that's right.
[Steve:] If they get that going they'll get two hundred and fifty for that.
[Frank:] Yeah. He was very cagey about the fault on that, he probably knows it.
[Steve:] Oh yeah.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Well didn't we, no we haven't told him what the fault is even though have we so
[Frank:] I told him it was a there when it, it shut down but that's all, yeah.
[Steve:] Oh
[Frank:] Didn't tell him about the er row of eights on there. It's probably a processor fault....
[Steve:] Ten quid'll have it fixed I expect.
[Frank:] Mm. If you could buy those... that sort of thing [LAUGHTER] we'd make good money with it er non-working.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] It still came in as an F S T didn't it?
[Steve:] Mm....
[Frank:] Mind you it's true he'd"ve got more for it probably if it'd been working but...
[Steve:] How much
[Frank:] how much more how many people want that sort of thing? You know.
[Steve:] One twenty five, one twenty for the trade I suppose
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Innit? At a push....
[Frank:] Well I think we've wo er I think we've won that little erm... forklift.
[Steve:] Yeah....
[Frank:] Doesn't seem to be... a hire job does it? Usually have them painted all over.
[Steve:] probably quite expensive things
[Frank:] Yeah bet they are.... It's probably been left by the guy that was here before you know.
[Steve:] Oh probably, the
[Frank:] Yes, pallets of frozen stuff around, yeah.
[Steve:] Yeah.... If anybody comes in for a car radio cassette, I've stuck one at the top there twenty quid if anybody
[Frank:] Ah right.... Is there just that, that big goes... in front was it, or just pushed in?
[Steve:] What's that?
[Frank:] That bit. Oh I see it's just the front loose.
[Steve:] Just the cover that's all.
[Frank:] Yeah....
[Steve:] There!
[Frank:] I think I shall have to get is a decent FM radio, I use a radio more than a tape actually in the car, but mine's only a long medium wave job.
[Steve:] Yeah I use the radio all the time now. Must get Robert down here....
[Frank:] Yeah, any excuse to er contact him? Besides asking
[Steve:] Er
[Frank:] him for money. [LAUGHTER]...
[Steve:] diagram for... for that erm mark five out there... could you ask him for one of them?
[Frank:] I've got that from the lads.
[Steve:] Oh.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] He doesn't know that. Well is there anything else you want?
[Frank:] That's true. Mm. [LAUGHTER]... Wonder what the chassis, that must be
[Steve:] Well I wanna order some more Toshiba flaps through him.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] down there.
[Frank:] I think this is the same... I've got the manual for these.
[Steve:] six ninety nine wannit or something?
[Frank:] Six ninety this one.
[Steve:] Six ninety.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Oh that'll be alright for er... assessing
[Frank:] That's a thought, yeah I can wang it on.... This was working when I picked it up, I'm pretty sure it was.... What does it do, anything at all?
[Steve:] I can't remember.... It's just erm... like a sink innit?
[Frank:] Dunno I haven't seen it on.
[Steve:] I think....
[Frank:] Stand by. Oh.... That's better.... It's doing something anyway.
[Steve:] Yeah. I should think
[Frank:] Perhaps that's what it is, lack of s lack of stink.
[Steve:] This looks alright....
[Frank:] Contrast, colour
[Steve:] It's all there isn't it?
[Frank:] brightness...
[Steve:] Could really set off a disgusting
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] Oh that's alright....
[Frank:] Oh... colour's dropping out, let's have a look.... [LAUGHTER] Oh it is a flap, I thought it was red tape on there. It's a red flap.
[Steve:] Yes.... These Names of er well they must enormous fortunes mustn't they?
[Frank:] Well yeah, and yes they've just asked them for forty grand more haven't they? Tony Jacklin and people like that. Just to keep the thing afloat.... Oh it's starting to drift now... that's where the colour's disappeared. Well that should be a freezable job... if it's warming up and going wrong.
[Steve:] Yeah.... Did you see the Nat West profit, they lost... three hundred million last year.
[Frank:] Cor!
[Steve:] Erm not, they didn't lose it, they went three hundred million less than the year before profit though, two hundred millio er bad debts
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] two hundred million Maxwell.
[Frank:] Really? Lloyds made about six hundred grand didn't they?
[Steve:] They didn't do bad did they?
[Frank:] No, they did very well.
[Steve:] But erm
[Frank:] See the shares jumped.
[Steve:] I mean how did they lend him two hundred million without absolutely secure collateral? They wouldn't lend it to anybody else would they?...
[Frank:] Well I thought that was funny about that guy that... watch Wogan on there last night, that girl that
[Steve:] No
[Frank:] just been on that film... Barry Norman was on there and er
[Steve:] Oh the one that Drop the Dead Donkey, that girl?
[Frank:] Yeah. She was in this film and
[Steve:] He got, that's right, he got two hundred grand
[Frank:] Two hundred grand from the bank.
[Steve:] but I should think that's security, it's the bloke's house probably that. Probably took a chance with it.
[Frank:] Yeah but it's a lot innit for a film that you never know is gonna
[Steve:] It is, yeah.
[Frank:] be any good.... Ah mind you he could probably sell it to the TV companies for about that I should think.
[Steve:] Yeah... very good though, card number again or anything.
[Frank:] Oh it's brilliant that is. They're so cheap.
[Steve:] They're ever so quick.... And they do it, and they've got it in stock, you know so
[Frank:] Yeah yeah... very good.
[Steve:] Not no we're out of stock on that one, we're out of stock on that one.
[Frank:] Very efficient. Pity they didn't do other stuff besides
[Steve:] Yeah. I suppose that's how they've managed to be
[Frank:] Yeah. Yeah just get the chips and that's it....
[Steve:] I phoned a customer last night and said that the system should be done... by the latest I would think next Monday like, you know? And I said I'll bring it round personally and er... you know, get it switched on for her. Yeah I want a lot of grovelling she says, I want an enormous amount of grovelling when you come.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Steve:] cos they've seen exactly the same one for five hundred and twenty five quid...

[Steve:] Well
[Frank:] different again.
[Steve:] The plug's hanging off.
[Frank:] Eh?
[Steve:] That plug's hanging off.
[Frank:] Which one? Oh that one? Oh yeah.... Yeah I don't suppose that happened when I pulled it out. It could do something.... Cos I thought these were all working actually.... Oh it's funny this one doesn't use a mains tranny like the others do.... Remote control.... Hmm swines...

[Frank:] Oh yeah?
[Steve:] Er then he, there's only three houses in the road that he lived in,, the next one along the road came up for auction and he sold his station and moved up to that and he said he's just bought the one at the end of the road now which is er... seven hundred and fifty thousand he paid for it, a hundred and fifty thousand to have it interior decorated.

[Steve:] unless you're gonna for it.
[Rex:] same price... no guarantee
[speaker004:] [LAUGHTER]
[Marge:] Yeah he's being greedy. Cos we had a twenty, twenty two and a twenty six didn't we? And he, the first bloke come and he said oh I'll have all three of them.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Rex:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []
[Marge:] He, he didn't realize that I had more stacked in the other room ready to come out
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Marge:] We sold one telly the other week about... no we sold one, one telly about six or seven times didn't we?
[Rex:] Yes. T V and a video we sold six times.
[Marge:] Yeah.
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] [LAUGHTER]
[Rex:] We're not doing nobody down. No
[Marge:] No.
[Rex:] nobody wants to trade that way, I don't
[Frank:] No.
[Rex:] I don't wanna trade from home. Don't want
[Marge:] But last week
[Rex:] people coming into my house buying gear. When I go home
[Marge:] Last week, yeah
[Rex:] of an evening
[Marge:] last week we had
[Steve:] Do you tell them you're a trader then?
[Marge:] No.
[Rex:] Not up until last week. Right my wife was selling as far as I was concerned. Not up until last week. But now this week, from what I put in the paper it's obvious that we're traders
[Marge:] Mm
[Rex:] now like innit? So
[Marge:] We had one bloke come last week... he lives about fifty yards from the shop.
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []?
[Marge:] Comes all the way home to buy a telly
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Marge:] for fifty quid... b bought a cheap one
[Steve:] Yeah
[Marge:] for fifty quid and he only lives, well, hundred yards, if that, from the shop.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] Get off []!
[Rex:] He could've come in the shop and bought them, yeah.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Marge:] Oh I said you'll have to go in K T V for servicing. And he never, he never queried it. He never said well are you anything to do with it or nothing.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Marge:] And there's a photograph in th I never told him that
[Frank:] Mm
[Marge:] photograph in the middle... and you know, but...
[Rex:] [LAUGHTER]
[Marge:] Oh he was thrilled, he had a good deal.
[Rex:] Well he had a nice little T V. No we don't stitch them, no.
[Marge:] Oh yeah a nice... no.
[Rex:] He had a Phillips G eleven, he took it home and plugged it in, it ran for two hours and the fuse went. So he phoned up, he said I know I didn't have a guarantee, can you do anything for me? I said yeah bring it back and have another one.
[Marge:] Well the next the next the next one was a joke. Bloke come and bought a Teletext with his friend, come all the way from Falmouth, he pulled on the front, paid me his money, saw the telly working, put the remote in his pocket, my son carried the telly down, put it in the back of the car... the bloke shut the boot, he drove off the front, I picked up the phone... he er and he just swung round off the front, the boot come open... out come the telly!
[Frank:] Oh goodness.
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] [LAUGHTER]
[Marge:] So he just got out, picked it up, shoved it back in and drove away.
[Steve:] Get off!
[Marge:] And I give him three mo cos I'd give him three months guarantee with that, I thought yes... and I was standing there on the phone and I thought... you dare come back! [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Oh yeah []
[Marge:] We haven't heard from him have we?
[Frank:] Oh.
[Rex:] No he probably ain't going to is he?
[Frank:] No.
[Rex:] He ain't going to is he?
[Marge:] No
[Steve:] Oh did he?
[Frank:] Mm
[Marge:] Yeah.
[Frank:] That's like a skating rink now then.
[Rex:] It may be alright though, it may be alright with a bit of luck, you know? I would've tried to help him out if we had a... if we had a, a shot one with a case like, you know? Then we could've put it together for him. You know you can't be hard on people can you really? Or I don't think so anyhow, we'd've nailed it together for him for nothing and
[Marge:] Well
[Frank:] Yeah
[Rex:] ?...
[Steve:] It depends on his attitude, if he'd been trying to pull a fast one on you and er Yeah this was like this when I bought it off you
[Rex:] Oh no no, if he, if he tried to pull a fast one... we've already had one like that... th that came in and bought a set... unfortunately... his father paid by cheque, oh no, well he paid by two cheques which, they had a card on them I know very well they can't stop them very well... and he went out and er, and er the T V was only in the car and he went round a corner quick and he went brrrm like that you know
[Frank:] Yeah
[Rex:] and split the case and all on the T V and he come back in he said... oh I picked this up he said and the case fell to bits. And I was there
[Frank:] Yeah, yeah
[Rex:] there and I said no... my handsome you didn't pick that up and the case fell, fell to bi he, cos he was going on this is inferior... not up to standard and so I said
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Rex:] I said now you can shut that up right away, cos I said you know it's not... I said er... now if you want us to try to help you out on this you just tell us what you did. Anyway his father was there and his father had paid... and I said no... you know, you've done that. So anyhow he, his father said well that's right he said we'll be probably covered on the house insurance. And they were anyhow so they had a brand new telly.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Rex:] And we had that one back and nailed them together and sold them again.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[speaker004:] [LAUGHTER]...
[Rex:] But he tried it, you know
[Steve:] Yeah
[Rex:] sneaky... like that.... Mind I know there's some that when you can pick up if you're, you know you could pick up something like that if you weren't careful and just pick it up from the inside
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Rex:] and the bloody will fly off won't it?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] They're only stapled together in the corner aren't they?
[Rex:] Yeah
[Steve:] And then er...... That one just won't erm... tune in in case
[Frank:] Oh. Toshiba
[Steve:] aren't they?
[Rex:] Yeah we should get sixty pound for them I should think.
[Steve:] That much you reckon?
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Well if you wanna pick the up for them you've got one two three... four I don't know what you're gonna do
[Frank:] Yeah the little Toshibas are remotes aren't they?
[Steve:] Yeah....
[Frank:] They're only a couple of quid, the flaps for those
[Rex:] Yeah
[Frank:] if you wanna bother or not....
[Rex:] No I shall shove them out as they are.
[Steve:] Nice little cabinets anyway
[Rex:] ... Actually we may have, we've got one or two mashed up sets, we may have flaps for them, I dunno.
[Steve:] It doesn't detract from them anyway does it? I mean
[Rex:] Not really. That's what you want really, you want about a thousand of them now
[Steve:] Yes. Yes if we could buy a thousand I think we'd have a thousand of them.
[Rex:] Yeah, yes.
[speaker004:] ...
[Rex:] You can get plenty of what you don't want and a little of what you do want....
[Steve:] Start of the season you just don't see... start of the season and Christmas you just don't see
[Frank:] No.
[Rex:] Well I'll be quite honest with you, when I came in the other day you had a couple and I'm amazed that you've still got them.
[Frank:] We don't let them out.
[Rex:] Eh?
[Frank:] We don't sell them.
[Steve:] We don't sell them unless people
[Frank:] Unless people buy big sets we don't sell them.
[Steve:] We won't just sell a portable to anybody.
[Rex:] You won't?
[Frank:] I mean you're lucky to get that one mate, I mean you must have been, caught him on a real good day.
[Steve:] I got forty six at Christmas.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] Yeah if somebody's loaded down with them, if they've got
[Frank:] End of season's the time to pick them up.
[Steve:] forty six videos.
[Frank:] Yeah, that's right.
[speaker004:] Oh yeah, yeah
[Rex:] Oh no I don't blame you. If you've only got
[Steve:] Well it's unfair to everybody if somebody has the lot and then everybody can have a couple and keep a few of their customers happy. You can always sell them within a couple of days of them coming in...
[Rex:] Thank you for the coffee.... I dunno who you were gonna make it out to but make it out to
[Steve:] I've just made it out to nobody at the moment.
[Marge:] Just make it out to nobody
[Rex:] Right....
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] ...
[Frank:] I was thinking Rex might like that little G E C out there, that's a nice little...
[Rex:] Less ten less ten percent he said for being a good customer. He ain't got that written down there has he?
[Steve:] That's true, no I haven't
[Rex:] You must, you must get fed up with hearing it. [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] How much do you want for the, the little er?
[Frank:] Well I want forty quid really. It's a very nice one owner set, we took it in
[Steve:] I don't know if you want
[Frank:] part exchange actually.
[Steve:] See the G E C down there? It's just a basic
[Frank:] It's absolutely mint.
[Steve:] but it's a minty one.
[Frank:] The chap's had it, a single bloke
[Steve:] box out there. On the far side
[Rex:] I can't even see it.
[Marge:] Underneath the
[Steve:] See portables.
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Marge:] There.
[Frank:] It really is tidy. I'll put it on if you want.
[Steve:] It's just a twenty two inch basic but it's extremely
[Rex:] It is? And it's in perfect working order?
[Frank:] Oh yeah, I'll put it on for you. But we, I know the chap... he doesn't watch telly that, he's a lon lon long distance lorry driver and he had to have remote and text so he swapped it, you know, and er Oh well don't bother about it, we'll soon sell it. No problem.
[Rex:] No let me take a look at it, let me take a look....
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] ...
[speaker004:] Right, I've got some money for you my man.
[Frank:] Right you'd better see the... cashier... big fat chap with the glasses. [LAUGHTER] [LAUGHTER]...
[Rex:] No I think on that one.
[Frank:] Okay fair enough....
[Rex:] Only to be quite honest I pick up some stuff and mainly now the basics we get free.
[Frank:] No er when we get somebody in that
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Frank:] that wants a reliable one owner, not ex-rental sort of set, you know?
[Rex:] No no I know what you mean yeah. Yeah yeah
[Frank:] We'll er...
[Rex:] I've had some basics we got some nice, cos what we'll do if we have a set is stick it on the bench, we've got this foam cleaner, we spray it with the foam cleaner and clean it and when th
[Frank:] Yeah
[Rex:] that set comes down you see
[Frank:] Yeah
[Rex:] it's clean... as he was when he was new.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Rex:] He may be scratched... but he's as clean. And then we just spray them with a polish and when they go down they're good.
[Frank:] Yeah but I mean when our loads come in we've got a chap here that p just purely cleans them.
[Rex:] Yeah, yeah. Well presentation is a great thing... as far as er have you got a loo handy?
[Frank:] Yeah yeah... it's that first... first door there.
[Rex:] This one here?
[Frank:] Yeah....
[Gerry:] Right we'll see you an hour and a half from now.
[Frank:] Right, okay.
[Gerry:] if you're looking for one.
[Frank:] No this is just a pr it's a private, it's not an ex-rental one,i it really is in mint, it hasn't been used a lot. And erm we allowed
[Gerry:] What that set there?
[Frank:] forty quid on it, well th that's what I've gotta get for it.
[Gerry:] Oh
[Frank:] But it is very clean, great pictures on it.
[Gerry:] Is it text that one?
[Frank:] No it's just it's
[Steve:] Basic
[Frank:] it's basic but I mean it is a nice
[Gerry:] Yeah
[Frank:] clean
[Gerry:] No I've got a
[Frank:] reliable set.
[Gerry:] Hitachi chassis type job but er the tube's gone.
[Frank:] Yeah. Well you see that was like mint that one.
[Gerry:] So I'm just after the tube really.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Gerry:] swap places with this gentleman I can get him... loaded up. Right....
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] ...
[Steve:] Looks like it'll be a brilliant one if you get it going er... just the... things.... There
[Frank:] Oh yeah. It's like the tuner's dead innit?
[Steve:] Oh...
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] ...
[Frank:] It's getting colder innit?...
[Steve:] Get through alright?... Mm? Get through alright?...
[Rex:] That's a nice one.... What's this Kaitung one?
[Frank:] It's sold to those lads that just came in actually.
[Rex:] Ah.
[Frank:] It's not working. It's it's... it's not a worker.
[Rex:] No. I know, we're not er we ain't af we ain't afraid of a few bum workers cos we... have got er... good engineers like, you know?...
[Frank:] This won't tune in this one, it might be the tuner itself. But these aerial sockets on these Toshibas are in a, such a funny place that er
[Rex:] Yeah yeah.... See what you want is a little workshop out of sight don't you?
[Frank:] Well I've got one in there but I'm just doing this as a... to save me lifting it.
[Rex:] Oh I see....
[Frank:] ...
[Steve:] Er... no they're... all about the same depth aren't they?...
[Frank:] Bring the through?
[Steve:] That's the same, yeah....
[Marge:] ...
[Rex:] If they're gonna go towards the window shove something
[Marge:] Yeah I know
[Rex:] in between them.
[Marge:] yeah. I... is doing.
[Rex:] Right, okay.... Oh reckon they'd get rid of some of this stuff
[Frank:] No I don't understand it Rex. I suppose they've got a, they've got a certain contract to take new stuff all the time haven't they?
[Rex:] Yeah. I would've thought they could've... like somebody with an older text, they could've took the old one out and shoved one of these back into it.
[Frank:] Yeah I mean that is, that is current now, that's what they use now isn't it?... That is their current model.
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Frank:] They use that chassis in Thorns and Bairds and things.
[Rex:] Yeah. So what's the... tube alright on that is it?
[Frank:] Yeah it comes on, a comes on and then it shuts down so it's some sort of shut down fault.
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Frank:] We haven't looked er we haven't even got a manual for it.
[Rex:] No. No no no.... Well anybody that's anything like an engineer, as long as it's clean and tidy and not been chucked around
[Frank:] That's right.
[Rex:] they can fix it can't they?
[Frank:] Yeah, oh yeah it's all fixable. Long as the tube's alright, that's the main thing.
[Rex:] Yeah that's the main thing on that. That's a nice looking machine that one....
[Frank:] Probably would actually wouldn't it, yeah....
[Steve:] Which would leave us room for the......
[Frank:] What have you got one, one more to g two more....
[Steve:] ... different. Put er that on top of those... put a portable
[Marge:] Have you got the little portable? like that?
[Steve:] Two more?
[Frank:] Yeah there's that one and one more.... Wonder if they would go... cos th n n they're no different on their ends are they really?
[Steve:] Not really, no they're practically squares aren't they?
[Marge:] No they a yeah.... Which is the smaller of the portables?
[Steve:] They're all about the same, there's hardly any difference in them.... Hardly any difference at all. the blanket... portables on the blanket.
[Marge:] We're not taking the blanket all out erm from underneath all of them. [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] Well we've got plenty of cardboard plenty of cardboard
[Steve:] Plenty of cardboard, yeah.
[Rex:] With the blanket though he would, they would stop them from moving like, you know?
[Marge:] yeah.
[Steve:] Yeah. Erm... haven't got anything like a blanket...
[Marge:] And we've got them two to go?
[Frank:] Yeah....
[Marge:] Can't we put the bigger, the bigger of them... in under my feet.
[Rex:] I
[Frank:] If you put them on their sides they're too.... They'd go on their sides wouldn't they? Perhaps.... If we had a
[Rex:] blanket though we could have done that easy enough.
[Steve:] Oh I see you're gonna turn them on their sides are you....
[Rex:] catching on reasonably well for the time of the year?
[Steve:] ?
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Yes. They've converted people to it so they they find that they Well th they, they're used to selling cheapy stuff, they don't know if they can sell this, they've taken a couple on
[Rex:] Yeah
[Steve:] trial
[Rex:] Yeah
[Steve:] and they say you know that they've sold
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Steve:] I made myself a nice profit out of it.
[Frank:] I think those two on the sides one on there er f put that on its side as well perhaps. Oh no it's not any better is it on its side that one.... And Toshiba could go in there couldn't it and the other one on its side in there.
[Steve:] What erm top to... top to top
[Frank:] Top to top yeah.... And side to side....
[Steve:] ... is easy we can pack
[Rex:] We're gonna need to put something in between that.
[Frank:] ...
[speaker004:] A bit of cardboard between that... useful.
[Frank:] Gotta fix that aerial back on....
[Steve:] If I lift it could you... slide that in... And I've put something in there so we don't get any there
[Rex:] Yeah. We're away....
[Steve:] but er... I can't work out where
[Frank:] Well if you put that one across under that one... and then I can get this one up through the middle, it's just the depth in the middle there innit?
[Rex:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Oh I see, put this one
[Rex:] Over there.
[Steve:] ... Alright? And then something in between these to stop any rubbing
[Frank:] That's it.
[Steve:] on there.... I need a little bit of wedge at the back there... just to stop
[Rex:] again....
[Marge:] The keys are in the car then?
[Rex:] ... Wonderful sir.
[Steve:] Alright?
[Rex:] Excellent.
[Frank:] Is your catch alright there?... See if that closes alright.
[Rex:] Lovely.
[Frank:] Lovely.
[Steve:] down on the axle.
[Frank:] Smashing.
[Steve:] Nice to see you again
[Rex:] young man
[Frank:] Yeah see you again. Cheers then.
[Rex:] See you again.
[Steve:] Got your hand sets?
[Rex:] Got the hand sets?... I'll just have a word with my chief accountant
[Group Of Unknown Speakers:] [LAUGHTER]
[Rex:] Got the hand set?
[Frank:] Right.
[Rex:] Right see you later.
[Frank:] Bye then. Good trip.
[Steve:] Thanks a lot That must be the... the right hand set for that because... two five five R seven B, the R is remote innit? All the others are T for...
[Frank:] Oh yeah?
[Steve:] aren't they?
[Frank:] Yeah.... Yet we didn't we? So it was the wrong back then, probably....
[Steve:] wrote to them complaints and
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] they switched on alright anyway. Right do you want?
[Frank:] Well I've tried all those, I'll see what... switches on, just do one more.
[Steve:] Cos the tuner se seems to be working itself dunnit
[Frank:] Yeah I mean I assume it's the same tube in this as the er Grundig innit?
[Steve:] Is it?
[Frank:] Yeah. It's a innit? Er
[Steve:] Oh
[Frank:] ...
[Steve:] Mind you I think the Grundig was a little... might require a
[Frank:] Yeah. But this is only a basic set so I mean we'll know when there's a tube... yeah...
[Steve:] seventy five and this is a basic?
[Frank:] Yeah.... Let's try a different number
[Steve:] Tried a different number
[Frank:] Yeah yeah
[Steve:] Yeah I thought maybe number one was worn out and...
[Frank:] Yeah, it's a knackered tuner innit?... Oh colour's gone, why's that?
[Steve:] blank screen then for a sec....
[Frank:] Oh, that's where they... that's where they are innit, round there.... It's either that or...
[Steve:] ?
[Frank:] No it's a little erm... well I should think it's gonna be the tuner innit?... Mm
[Steve:] sixty quid and one tuner, I mean you know... don't mind if it's just
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] a couple of quid on them do you? And they go nice and
[Frank:] No
[Steve:] quick.
[Frank:] Mind you it's had some spillage in here in the I F strip. Ah... oh yes it has. Lots of spillage, that's probably the problem.... Yeah you see it... you see it all round the chips
[Steve:] Oh yeah, yeah on it, yeah yeah
[Frank:] all green, all green along there... I wonder... I was just thinking it's got all the bits in it to make that other one go
[Steve:] It's still switched on so...
[Frank:] No it's, it's got all the power bits to make that other one go. It's got a tube that would make the... the other one go. Dunno.... But it's losing a set that way innit?...
[Steve:] See the tube for the Grundig I think... it won't help
[Frank:] No be worth trying won't it? Mm.
[Steve:] And I could get fifty five or sixty for this
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] won't tune... and erm
[Frank:] Well I'll tr I'll try cleaning up that spillage.
[Steve:] Shall I do it with a toothbrush and a...?
[Frank:] You can if you like, yeah,i it pulls out, you know, you can get at it.
[Steve:] innit?
[Frank:] Yeah. Yeah it's not underneath it's just... you can take that out the way
[Steve:] ... Well there's twelve hundred quid in there.
[Frank:] Mm!... Well a little drink
[Steve:] All in cash.
[Frank:] Very good. Old Rex, I see he had a pile of fifties there.... Hmm. He did s yeah he did speak to her.
[Steve:] Yeah?
[Frank:] Yeah....
[Steve:] Well I've seen the toothbrush somewhere recently but I'm buggered if I can remember where. It's not on my desk
[Frank:] Mike will be useful next time he comes up to erm he probably knows how to connect those... extension wires into th on the telephone doesn't he?
[Steve:] Oh I should think so, yeah....
[Frank:] Do you want anything else to drink or are you alright for a bit?
[Steve:] No thank you I'm fine....
[Frank:] Thought I'd leave that little erm portable running... this afternoon.
[Steve:] Yeah....
[Frank:] Nice little tube in that one innit?... always good aren't they, as a rule?
[Steve:] Yep. last night...
[Frank:] And those last three portables, he talked me into those going out the door. Jim that was.... It won't happen again.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] No []. I don't know though, I don't think they're quite as busy as er they profess to be.
[Frank:] No... not after that conversation yesterday.... Get a few more like Rex and we've cracked it.
[Steve:] Yes. Well we've got Terry
[Frank:] And Terry, yes.
[Steve:] he's waiting to come up for another load.
[Frank:] Yeah....
[Steve:] There's a, one of them little... it's probably meant to be that colour, one of them little clay coloured things has got a black end on it there but er...
[Frank:] Oh yeah that's just erm
[Steve:] A marker is it?
[Frank:] a marker, yeah.... You, you've left a message for Derek didn't you about his erm... telly?
[Steve:] Oh yeah.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] He phoned me last night at home and I said you got your message then? No... well I'm sure his machine ain't working, it's knackered....
[Frank:] This little erm... Sanyo I've got on the bench in here, I think we'll just keep that for spares then....
[Steve:] Right. that, it's funny innit?... Oh...
[Frank:] Yeah, have a think about that one....
[Steve:] ...
[Frank:] Two little switches...
[Steve:] That one the tuner just keeps hunting so maybe the aerial cable's not connected to the... tuner, we had one of them before didn't we, where they?
[Frank:] Yeah yeah... I'll just box this Sanyo up out that way.
[Steve:] I'll box this one up again and er... tuner.... You didn't happen to see this new series last night Mulberry did you?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Weren't it good?
[Frank:] I quite enjoyed that.
[Steve:] I thought it was bloody excellent. Really... out of the ordinary.
[Frank:] Lyn wanted to see it but she slept right through that.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] Oh []...
[Frank:] She said what time's Mulberry coming in, said oh it's just finished.... Well that's the trouble on that one, alright?
[Steve:] Oh... and you thought that the other one fitted did it? The other
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Oh.
[Frank:] Yeah it's this little panel.
[Steve:] So we can put that in the duff one and anyway then can't we?
[Frank:] That's right. It's on that one erm... it's off a text one actually I took this one off but er
[Steve:] Well that's alright. If we just get fifty or sixty back for the
[Frank:] That's right.
[Steve:] we do fifty will tempt them, we'll lose a tenner but
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] we'll get fifty to spend again, that's the important thing.
[Frank:] Yeah, true. Well they seem quite tempted.
[Steve:] I can't remember what their names were, did you get their names again?
[Frank:] No I didn't. I know it was Princetown T V but
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Probably serve the prison I should think.... Well I must remember to memorize this this time.... Lovely tube on this innit?
[Steve:] They're pretty good sets aren't they? Yeah.
[Frank:] I should think it must be that one there or... [snooker on the telly] James Wattana...
[Steve:] Fancy living here in preference to
[Frank:] Yeah! He must be doing very well over here. Very delicate.... Don't suppose he's in his part time.
[Steve:] No....
[Frank:] Cor he is good, there's no doubt about that, look at that, right between the two. Whoops
[Steve:] Ooh!
[Frank:] oh dear.... Cor
[Steve:] Mm....
[Frank:] Excellent.... I know Jackie said well you shouldn't, you should try the Toshibas they're as good as gold those are....
[Steve:] Telling the truth there....
[Frank:] It's er Hitachis are the ones he didn't er rate at all.
[Steve:] Oh yeah? Hitachi as well I think. That's a duffer innit?
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []
[Steve:] Still if we move them on... fifty five quid I reckon nice set that'll tempt somebody.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Or we could buy another one then don't we?
[Frank:] Yeah.... Right... Oh that's right, that's what I ordered off Eddy today, two S D seventeen ten.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] That one.
[Steve:] Quite a good set.
[Frank:] Mm.... No I think I can probably make t one out of two of those.
[Steve:] Well we'll get three of them, that price.
[Frank:] Getting these done aren't we, gradually?
[Steve:] Yeah
[Frank:] The non-working stuff.
[Steve:] it helps dunnit?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] I mean some of these you ain't even looked at, the Panasonic and things like that, it might be
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] something simple.
[Frank:] it's a bit long in the tooth that one. Still it's worth a look probably.
[Steve:] It's thirty quid innit, to somebody like Jack?
[Frank:] Yeah. Looked at the Sony... that needs erm...
[Steve:] Er a tuning fault or something innit?
[Frank:] Yeah it's just got erm... blank in it.... That's another Hitachi isn't it down there the same as we've got over there?...
[Steve:] Oh yeah.... F S T Tosh there as well. Shouldn't be too serious should it?
[Frank:] We haven't looked at that have we, that one? I'm not sure.
[Steve:] Don't know....
[Frank:] Or is that the one that has got the burnt out bits in it?...
[Steve:] But I can clear these out for ninety quid apiece I think I'd move them just to get rid of them don't you?
[Frank:] Yeah. Yeah.... He lives in Bradford, my goodness what a choice.... James Wattana
[Steve:] In Bradford now is he?
[Frank:] Yeah.... Must like the food up there I should think.... Ah that was a brave shot.
[Steve:] Well... they don't have a... test signal then....
[Frank:] Mm. Seems to have a bit of a Tried a tape in it?
[Steve:] No....
[Frank:] Just for a joke.
[Steve:] Just sending out a pulse on them... stopped there.
[Frank:] You can always the tape...... It's actually running.... That mains lead in front of you... wants plugging in.
[Steve:] Ah.... Ah right. Stop, stop, stop
[Frank:] Mm.... I really should er phone Breezy up and call his bluff and find out...
[Steve:] Which of these is tuner?
[Frank:] That's it.... Yeah you run the tape don't you to tune these in. Run it without a tape I think it is to get the test signal. Still
[Steve:] Oh is it?
[Frank:] you'll find it that way anyway won't you?...
[Steve:] Should go all the way up and then back down shouldn't it?
[Frank:] Yeah they do no they do go round.... Pretty sure they do anyway,... Blinking slow innit that direction? Or is it blinks fast in the other direction?
[Steve:] Oh I see. Ah.
[Frank:] One of them is a fast tune. That's it, that's fast tune.... isn't it? Unless that plate comes off mm... somebody's hit that with a soldering iron at some stage.... Mm
[Steve:] I mean there's no
[Frank:] Yeah, I know you can feel those there, they're just more or less flush with the heads.... Perhaps we could try another one and see er
[Steve:] Are all heads the same
[Frank:] [cough]
[Steve:] ...
[Frank:] Well it's the later type innit, that one?
[Steve:] It's just that a lot of the heads have worn they
[Frank:] Mm
[Steve:] don't look to bad.
[Frank:] Oh that's quite a tidy looking one as well innit?...
[Steve:] Yeah worth switching on anyway, quite a few of them have got these er carriages in?
[Frank:] No well they're not sure if that's the whole carriage but...
[Steve:] Quite a few have got them in.
[Frank:] See what they look like on this one.... Oh it's a different ki different, totally different innit that one? It's got nothing underneath that one has it?... If that bit can, you know, that's fixed... there's nothing for the... unless the tape just slides and sits
[Steve:] On the plastic.
[Frank:] on the plastic. Probably it does....
[Steve:] Plug it in and find out shall I?
[Frank:] Yeah.... [LAUGHTER] Looks quite tiny that one doesn't it? We might've been, might be pleasantly surprised with these.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []......
[Frank:] Right ah... I'm gonna have a delve and see if I can find a similar model.... There's one at the bottom there.
[Steve:] Bloody hell!
[Frank:] Rattling around.... Oh this has got as well. Head's gone on it anyway,he you know I looked at them closely, there's nothing there at all. It's the same type as this type.
[Steve:] Yeah.... Well if the other one's just head and the it's not too bad....
[Frank:] Let's have a look, it's a Phillips... six four six two.

[Lyn:] Well you give it a good bash then.... [banging]
[Jonny:] Look I'm turning it that way.
[Lyn:] That would be
[Frank:] Yeah... [banging]
[Lyn:] the ceiling...
[Frank:] I don't think it's fixed to the ceiling actually that, I think it's just purely a... a framework bol nailed to the wall
[Jonny:] It's only a piece of wood that's... do you know what that is?... That's only...
[Lyn:] So you could take the framework off the front
[Frank:] Yeah I think that's just
[Lyn:] which leaves the superstructure on
[Frank:] Yeah... Screwdriver's...
[Jonny:] Now that must be wobbly.
[Lyn:] ...
[Jonny:] That won't come off. Well these shelves won't come off. Should happen... now it's got bended.
[Frank:] Well...
[Jonny:] Mum do you like the sound?
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER] No []
[Jonny:] Then... cover up the ears.... it's okay now.
[Frank:] It always amazes me build things like that Yeah.
[Lyn:] So how does that come off the wall, the wooden?
[Frank:] It's held on, it's gonna take some doing actually.
[Lyn:] What the wooden part?
[Frank:] Those slats, this back piece
[Lyn:] Yeah
[Frank:] are nailed to the wall
[Jonny:] Yeah and that's only wall
[Lyn:] Well, well I was just maybe wondering whether you might use a part of that to support the new cabinet
[Jonny:] Do you know that's only wall... that bit is only wall.
[Frank:] Ten to one it won't match.
[Lyn:] too terrible to get off.
[Jonny:] Listen listen please
[Frank:] Oh it's, you know
[Jonny:] That's only wall
[Lyn:] Only wall?
[Jonny:] Yeah, it's only...
[Lyn:] Right do for that cos might
[Frank:] I don't whether, I'm trying to think if he goes
[Lyn:] I don't know, I can't keep up with him but I expect... I think
[Jonny:] [LAUGHTER]
[Lyn:] Don't fall, you're hardly on the stool Jon. Erm...
[Jonny:] Ah!
[Lyn:] When they done those windows down the bottom there it sounded though they were in... right next door.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Jonny:] But you look there... that's wall... those bits should come out.
[Frank:] Oh don't knock this though cos
[Jonny:] Why? Because look...
[Lyn:] ... if it's
[Jonny:] Those are very useful.
[Lyn:] Do you realize that? You can have, you can take them
[Jonny:] Yes... but the thing is what I would really like... is get two there... then waddle it in... one there... and then waddle it in on there. No I want them like that.... Dad could you nail them like
[Frank:] No I haven't got any nails have I?...
[Jonny:] Why?...
[Frank:] say why I just haven't got any....

[Brian:] Yeah because they, they're... y you know the Copper Dollar?
[Frank:] Mm.
[Brian:] Well they're taking all the power lines down in the village, or down through that part of the village which, fair enough, gets rid of the eyesore... but they're gonna put now a bloody big transformer,abou thing about seven, eight foot bloody tall in, in the field... right on the Copper Dollar
[Frank:] Right.
[Brian:] and originally they were gonna er mount it on the wall up against his lawn area where
[Frank:] Mm
[Brian:] people and all sit out erm... the landlord turned round and said no way hos, I'm not having it there sort of thing. Of course then they change their attitude SWET said well alright we'll put it right down there in the corner. Now right down in the corner, bearing in mind my parents' garden shall we say is there and the field height is there
[Frank:] Mm
[Brian:] so the thing's gonna tower above their blooming
[Frank:] Yeah
[Brian:] wall for a start, plus the hum... you get from these bloody things, in other words basically, as my parents spend a lot of time up in their top garden in the summer time, in the sunshine and all, you get the continual hum from that bloody
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Brian:] thing... and I had a blazing row with them on the telephone
[Frank:] And there's enough hums in the countryside without that. [LAUGHTER]
[Brian:] Well and er yeah, exactly.
[Steve:] Look at this Frank... see these are fast text it's got the memory on it, it's er one 0 eight, one 0 seven
[Frank:] Oh I see. Memory text.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Well that's alright, yeah but
[Steve:] a lot but it's... a little faster in that respect
[Frank:] Yeah.... Yeah because my erm... mark four had that, memory pages, it didn't have fast text as such....
[Steve:] T X L rotate, I don't know what that is.... what the number is.
[Frank:] Yeah mine's got this on it, my er video one....
[Brian:] Nice little set innit?
[Steve:] Yeah
[Frank:] You pick you pick out a code of numbers with this one
[Steve:] Oh I see
[Frank:] and then it'll memorize the next three or four pages from that one.
[Steve:] Oh so it is a fast text then?
[Frank:] It is, yeah.
[Steve:] So this is the right hand set for it then. Didn't do it with the others, this has got a and a
[Frank:] Ah right. Yeah that's what has gone on mine er you move along to wh with the cursor
[Steve:] Yeah
[Frank:] hit that and then you can have that number and the next four or five pages.
[Steve:] Does it rotate along there then? Erm... browse, what's browse?... for this
[Brian:] Well you don't need a here do you?
[Frank:] We've got one....
[Brian:] Oh you've got one haven't you? Yes.
[Steve:] yeah.
[Brian:] Did you put that up yourself or was it here when you come here?
[Frank:] No we had it put up.
[Brian:] You had it put up?
[Steve:] But er... we did it as a deal with a... a bloke wanted a telly
[Brian:] Ah well fair enough.... Cos we're doing a s we're doing a system now for two hundred and ninety
[Frank:] With two sugars?

[Brian:] Oh well No, fair enough.... Thatta boy... thatta a boy.... Yeah Becca had one of those pinched too. Very similar to that one down there, very similar. Yeah Liverpool you see, bloody kids... twelve to fourteen years of age
[Steve:] They've caught them have they?
[Brian:] Only two little kids who was up in, well keeping watch on the outside, there were two in the house and two at the back, driving a bloody car at that age

[Frank:] No.
[Brian:] every bloody house, every house, I'll tell you here and now, has got... fire, er burglar alarms fitted, every bloody house
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Brian:] down all these Coronation Street type houses, and erm... one of her friends was on the telephone the other night and er this chap draws up in the car and she says I, I won't be a minute, and he comes straight out of his car, he said I'll give you one minute he said, I'll drive my car and come back down that ro up... back to the telephone box... and he said if you ain't gone by then he said I'll smash your fucking face in, that's exactly what he said to her.
[Frank:] Cor!
[Brian:] Yeah! Yeah Rebecca saw some chap going around, course Becca was mugged, I probably told you she was mugged in er Liverpool.
[Frank:] No you didn't.
[Brian:] Yeah she was mugged... er ooh about six months ago... and erm... and she said she saw a chap walking around a fortnight ago with a gun in his bloody hand.
[Frank:] Cor!
[Brian:] Yeah! And she said erm where they have their big discos in the universities er you know, about two thousand five hundred of them come round of course they've got fire alarm systems there, then she said you get the underground so called Mafia, whatever you like to call them she said, they are chaps she said in their thirties, and forties, arrive in shiny big white and red Porsches this that and the other and deliberately, cos they're club owners
[Frank:] Mm
[Brian:] or paid by the club owners, deliberately smash the break glass course everyone's gotta get out, the fire brigade all come in
[Frank:] Oh yeah.
[Brian:] the, the police all come in and of course the kids are not gonna hang around
[Frank:] No
[Brian:] they want their evening entertainment, then they go off down, then on down to the clubs. She said it's horrendous up through Liverpool.
[Steve:] You've got a button here, choice of fast or normal text, when you press the fast all the colours come on the bottom.
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Oh my goodness [].
[Steve:] It's a different hand set again this one.
[Frank:] Mm.

[Frank:] Marvellous
[Steve:] they disappear and it goes to white.... And do that when it gets to one two four again...
[Frank:] Mm
[Steve:] the colours come up on the bottom again.
[Frank:] That's interesting, I didn't kn didn't think you could cancel it off the screen, I thought it was there always.
[Steve:] Ah! So that's the right hand set for that one.
[Frank:] So how'd you get on?
[Steve:] He, he can't because th these are a bloody expensive one
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] and these aren't so expensive, but I mean these we know are fifteen so these have gotta be twenty five, twenty six quid
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] so he said it's across the board put four thousand quid's worth off him the other day and I only give fifty pence off he said so I can't do much for you.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] So he gets it at four quid but
[Frank:] Yes. Yeah.
[Steve:] Or if we take this whole lot up to Malcolm, say that you know these are six quid across the board you know?
[Frank:] Yeah yeah.
[Steve:] Well we could sell them to him well we we'll end up with one hand sets for
[Frank:] That's right yeah....
[Steve:] Cos it's super, he was selling that for eight or nine quid you know.
[Frank:] Cor yes! Yeah
[Steve:] It might be worth giving him a bell to let him know what's happening cos
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] ... Brand new Toshiba hand sets, give him the model number.
[Frank:] The only problem is you see I'd like to try and get more Toshibas off him. He might sell a lot more if he had the hand units.
[Steve:] That's true.
[Frank:] We might be
[Steve:] Toshibas do sell well don't they?... We could do him a deal couldn't we with all, all Toshiba I'd say how much Toshibas.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Probably get the black stripe
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah []...

[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] If you come across it.... Oh the Toshiba, the Toshiba transformers, that's what he's got a... good range of and he's written down
[Frank:] Has he?
[Steve:] the model numbers here as well.
[Frank:] Oh very good.... Is it on... the fax coming through?
[Steve:] That's transformers there. Two five five seven B it is, yeah. seven B that's the erm... innit?
[Frank:] Mm.... What's the price of these?
[Steve:] Hasn't it got a price on them?
[Frank:] No....
[Steve:] Do you want me to find out?

[Steve:] two hundred and twenty nine then hundred and seventy five but I mean... if we could sell them six quid a time well
[Frank:] Yeah
[Steve:] but as you say we wanna get the tellies off him first don't we? Otherwise he can just give them with the bloody tellies or trying to buy them with the tellies and the dealers have a lovely time
[Frank:] Well yes.
[Steve:] Well he could charge a tenner and the dealers would be happy wouldn't they?
[Frank:] Oh yeah. He would too.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] He'd charge eight anyway.
[Steve:] And he said er... these Toshiba tellies have a, a timer on... thirty sixty ninety one twenty...
[Frank:] Oh yeah
[Steve:] you set the timer and hit the buttons whenever you want it'll turn itself off off the
[Frank:] Switch off yeah
[Steve:] ... If ever you pick it up and er you get that bleeping noise of a fax somebody's trying to send
[Frank:] Mm
[Steve:] if you just hit the start stop button... and just hang on to the phone it'll... come through
[Frank:] Oh right.
[Steve:] after a little while.... Well those Toshibas go with a bit more of a swing, they were a blooming nuisance before. I wanna try it on a one to see if anything's working...
[Frank:] Who had my monitor, Gary or... Dave?
[Steve:] Er Gary....
[Frank:] Did you have that Phillips hand set long ago?
[Steve:] I put it back in the box again. I'll go and get it for you.
[Frank:] No it's alright I'll probably manage with it... Well I think that's a bit prettier....
[Steve:] Oh that's a bit livelier innit?... It's more solid innit?... I'll get you the hand set...
[Frank:] Mm... should back.... Perhaps it wasn't anyway....
[Steve:] Think it goes by itself alright.
[Frank:] When you get past it's not too bad. [LAUGHTER]... That should er do it.... Oh that's still a bit high innit? Got the width there....
[Steve:] Quite good these fast text ones aren't they?
[Frank:] Yes excellent.
[Steve:] Well you wouldn't have known fast text without the right hand set would you?
[Frank:] No you wouldn't.
[Steve:] said fast text on it.... Do you want your picture back so you can see
[Frank:] Yeah I'll put it on mix.
[Steve:] Mix er... I'm not sure what mix is on this one.
[Frank:] That's it.... Mm typical dark screen at the top.... I don't know, you can't tell can you? No.... Let's got back to another station shall we?... Looks like it's alright....
[Steve:] ?
[Frank:] Yeah, that looks alright.... Yeah that's alright.
[Steve:] Yep. It's a innit? it's just the edge of the screen innit? Or is it? Oh yes it's the black edge of the... reflecting on it innit?
[Frank:] Yeah, that's alright.
[Steve:] Yeah. Yeah super.
[Frank:] Brilliant. It's not brilliant but it's a lot better.
[Steve:] ...
[Frank:] Had to laugh yesterday towards the end of er our round, it was really tipping down, misty, fog, couldn't see a hundred yards... I had this almighty s I said well I'll let the six iron, I did this almighty swing... the ball went one way and the club went right up the top of a tree. It must've been fifteen foot at least up in the air... teetering on a top branch.
[Steve:] [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] I thought oh my god, lost me six iron, all of a sudden crash, it came down. Old Louis he didn't know which way anything had gone. He said well I couldn't see any of that... didn't even see the club go up the tree....
[Steve:] different hand set works the black stripe.
[Frank:] Does it?... What one of Alistair's?
[Steve:] Yeah, does it work everything though? Doesn't work that does it? No, it works the text... doesn't work the... colour the on screen display, one of them, innit?... and one of them... and that... er and that.... That one didn't work either... gonna try and... there's no on screen display on these is there? So
[Frank:] Shouldn't think s
[Steve:] won't work will it? This type. So these are the only ones we can't put them with.
[Frank:] Oh right.
[Steve:] All the later ones we can... but I've got a couple more of these ones that work this one coming anyway so...
[Frank:] But it changes channel dunnit? And... does it give you volume or not?
[Steve:] Changes channel and does volume I think
[Frank:] And and everything.
[Steve:] Erm... yeah that one does
[Frank:] So I mean it'll do everything barring...
[Steve:] No that other one doesn't
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] the one we got as a... a master text one doesn't
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] but one of these would. That one would.
[Frank:] Right....
[Steve:] So if we want some of these as well well we ain't gonna get cheaper to go with these whatever happens we know that.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] albeit the wrong one. They have got manual settings on there haven't they?
[Frank:] That's right, that's what I thought. I mean it's
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] you don't, how, how often do you use the brightness control on the
[Steve:] Yeah yeah
[Frank:] telly?
[Steve:] Channel change, text... 0 one... four 0 one oh just gives hold dunnit... yeah. don't work on that one then. I'll try one of these others.......
[Frank:] well we haven't got the right one for those then....
[Steve:] Still...
[Frank:] Don't see so many of those now erm...
[Steve:] I should think this is the same as the non-stereo one, for hand set-wise innit?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Try that last one. Well it won't text will it? No....
[Frank:] come in the bags do they, that lot?
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] Yeah bags. know what they go with but just give the bags.... Nice little
[Frank:] Yes.... Mm...
[Steve:] This one doesn't even text....... No well that's alright. We've got the two most important ones.
[Frank:] I suppose there isn't a little knob on it that would just happen to work zeros?...
[Steve:] er... no... text... well...
[Frank:] Very nice,
[Steve:] So we've got one two three four five six... seven eight... nine... timer... You'd of thought it would erase that time on time off thing innit?
[Frank:] Yes. Yeah. hit again usually.
[Steve:] ... Dunno. Maybe... no...
[Frank:] I suppose it's cos it's the wrong unit is it?
[Steve:] Could be I suppose....
[Frank:] couldn't it?
[Steve:] Yeah....
[Frank:] Right.... Has Jim been in yet? No....
[Steve:] No....
[Frank:] Oh put that back into store now.... So when erm... Robert comes in we've got one... two...
[Steve:] There's three there I think.
[Frank:] Oh yeah that grey one....
[Steve:] Erm still got for Sanyos.
[Frank:] Do they? Mm that's interesting....
[Steve:] Is that Fidelity... have we ordered bits for that or is that er...
[Frank:] Yeah we did.... Well we tried to order a manual didn't we?
[Steve:] Somebody wanted to buy it as a non-worker but I said well I said we'd ordered a part for it so...
[Frank:] Er now did we? I'm trying to think.
[Steve:] That's right, we ordered a... manual they couldn't get...
[Frank:] Oh yeah they've got one forty R on there but, I mean you look at the set and it says er... where did I get the number?... Fourteen 0 four R.... Find out what to do about taking that band saw away I dunno.
[Steve:] Yeah, I saw, I passed him this morning going down to... the garage with some wood
[Frank:] Was he?
[Steve:] on his roof and all that.
[Frank:] I mean there's all that wood we bought!
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] It would useful! Be useful in here, you know. Or e
[speaker004:] I wonder if he'll sell?
[Steve:] No. I have difficulty some of them. They're always, I'm taking stuff away from them. Erm... cos I'm a right bastard really I think!
[Frank:] No, does me.
[Steve:] But erm
[Frank:] Hasn't got much to say to any of us.
[Steve:] Find out about er... you know, if that is going through we're gonna have to start flogging some of the stuff off to get some money back then.
[Frank:] Yeah.... He was on his way to the garage you say? He might bet there
[Steve:] Yes.
[Frank:] now mightn't he?
[Steve:] Yeah. Should be there.
[Frank:] So which is Paul's number at the garage?......... [phonecall starts] Oh, hello it's Frank here! Is erm... is Alan there do you know?... the little workshop, yeah. He's not. Who's that, Lloyd? Oh it's Frank, you know, from the darts team. Oh! Alright. Erm... you could, yes, you could if you see him. Yeah, he he's got my number there, yeah. Alright. Cheers Lloyd! Bye [phonecall ends]!... I think I'll try him at home.
[Steve:] Alright.
[Frank:] This should be funny! I bet bloody... what's her name won't talk to me! innit?... [phonecall starts] Hello Sandy! Ho how you doing, alright? Is Alan about? Ah, right. Alright. Can do or I'll ring him later on. Whatever! Yeah, alright Sand. Cheers then! Right, bye [phonecall ends]!... I don't believe that at all!
[Steve:] What's that?
[Frank:] She said he's out and I don't know what time he'll be back! I bet
[Steve:] Oh!
[Frank:] she knew exactly where he would be and... [LAUGHTER] what time he'd be back! She, she's got him on a string ain't she []!
[Steve:] She knows
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER]
[Steve:] wherever he goes.
[Frank:] That's right. Oh!
[Steve:] Oh I tell you what he could have done for us... have a look at that master... that matchline thing.
[Frank:] Yeah, well he's he's going to look at that for us.
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Yeah. I think he was gonna get a circuit for it or summat. I must get... a little tiny erm... filing cabinet sometime. Well they reckon the weather's gonna be nice for tomorrow don't they? Says
[Steve:] Yeah, bright in the morning clearing off look. So does this morning, but yesterday it was supposed to be fine all day!
[Frank:] Yes!
[Steve:] You know!
[Frank:] We really got caught out then!
[Steve:] Yeah. Is that all your there's a... ca... cartridge in there... er, cost us, pick up one like you know... er... and there's this Japanese bloke, Pan Wang somebody [LAUGHTER] te ten a month he turns out []! At one thousand six hundred and fifty pounds per cartridge!
[Frank:] Cor! These my cu erm... Alan's?
[Steve:] No I bought it.
[Frank:] Brave chap! See things in there... make your hair curl I bet!
[Steve:] But, what
[Frank:] Yes.
[Steve:] you know, you just wouldn't, you wouldn't go to that
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] I mean that is unbelievable!
[Frank:] See you're detached now, you can go to any level you like!
[Steve:] Well yeah. Yeah.
[Frank:] I can't wait to get back to detached, I'll go back into some big hi-fi! Heavy stuff!
[Steve:] Can't beat like the.
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] A pleasant sound. It's all stripped apart at the moment! I thought to myself then, I thought... black spot... rack system
[Frank:] Oh yeah?
[Steve:] , thirty eight quid! Er... all the... there's three shelves on it, twenty by... eighteen I think they are. Er... the Goldring one.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] Er, and the shelves were spiked onto the sa... stand and, and the stand was butted to the floor. But I think, but that was... just too big, I don't need all that bloody
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] !
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] Well really I got... buy something else off his stall..
[Frank:] Yeah!
[Steve:] . I wanna try it with one of these three, twenty three hour systems, supposed to work it the last
[Frank:] We might well do actually.
[Steve:] He's had it played, no guarantees... for eighty five... but that's good! Is that with a guarantee? I thought, I dunno... picked up a guarantee for twenty quid. Ooh! That much? Find it hard to take a chance for six months... for twenty quid. So he's gonna take it and try it, play through the. Well done!
[Frank:] Oh they do try it on!
[Steve:] They do! They do! Well you're not wrong! [straining to lift something] Er ah er ah! Er ah er!
[Frank:] You don't know what's on channel one do you, at the moment? Off hand?
[Steve:] Er, I'm not sure.
[Frank:] I can't tell with these... blooming things!
[Steve:] No I dunno. I'm just a... all tuned in but I don't know what's on one.
[Frank:] Oh!
[Steve:] Er... er
[Frank:] Er, no!
[Steve:] Well got... double frequencies shouldn't you? Oh I dunno, got it?
[Frank:] No.
[Steve:] No it won't will it? mark is it?
[Frank:] Yeah. See I've got one, I can see, cos that frequency's funny on this
[Steve:] Go on to I T V, maybe that tells you on there. When you're on the right one.
[Frank:] That's I T, channel three then isn't it? I suppose.
[Steve:] Yeah. Th... it tells you automatically then what station you're on does it?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Tune on to the next one then you'll be able to tell then.
[speaker004:] I usually cre
[Frank:] Mm, it's going up.
[Steve:] Four one three two innit?
[Frank:] Yeah. Four one three two.
[Steve:] That's four... that's one.
[Frank:] Oh I see, just carries on
[Steve:] Well
[Frank:] through!... Don't it? Yeah....... Just cha programme search innit, that was, I expect? And nothing tune... four
[Steve:] Four for four.
[Frank:] cos that might not be what... and it's up there then, perhaps, I dunno!... Suppose it must be mustn't it? I'm just wondering
[Steve:] Well I go through one of these and see what's on there. Have a look.
[Frank:] Forget what programmes are what on there!
[Steve:] Try these stops and. That's four then.
[Frank:] Ah, that is four with the.
[Steve:] Oh that is the one with the
[Frank:] Yeah. So is one or two?
[Steve:] Yeah, that's the one!
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Well that'll work,.
[Frank:] Yeah, getting it going, it's
[Steve:] Oh!
[Frank:] it wouldn't tune in, it was something to do with this... arrangement up here. So, right that should
[Steve:] Yeah they did work alright, they
[Frank:] Which one's that? Oh yeah! Mm.
[Steve:] I got another set, I've got just got going.
[Frank:] Yeah, it's probably the erm... ace head you know on the side?
[Steve:] Oh yeah.
[Frank:] On the other si Have to watch the light on that.
[Steve:] Aha. Well
[Frank:] That's a lot of light coming in on the back I think.
[Steve:] Yeah. Cut off after number fifteen with tho the top one as well but I'll
[Frank:] Yeah. Oh!
[Steve:] I'll turn it off and er... try it.
[Frank:] See if the counter's going up and things like that.
[Steve:] Yeah, the counter's going up it's er... electronic one.
[Frank:] Yeah but even so it's... volt
[Steve:] Oh!
[Frank:] volt driven.
[Steve:] Forged stop? Oh, I wonder why it says that then?... That's five seconds, reset... then.
[Frank:] [cough]
[Steve:] It's got that again!
[Frank:] Mm!
[Steve:] Record that
[Frank:] Mm, it's not... not rotating somewhere is it? See the caption's not turning round right,.
[Steve:] What's that? Is it anything to do with this? I can't drag away from it, while you're doing that.
[Frank:] No, it's alright, we'll have a look.
[Steve:] Do it later.
[Frank:] Tube blew up.... Well do they play? Does it play?
[Steve:] It played for a little while, I didn't play it for long but it did play.
[Frank:] Oh so, oh it switches itself off does it?
[Steve:] Oh it's designed, it's giving me a fault. See it did play.
[Frank:] Taking up.
[Steve:] Wasn't bad play back when I fi... oh it's not... not doing as much as it did before now!
[Frank:] Then catch it. Can't figure out what's actually stopping. Oh that's this one?
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] Is that the drive belt as well I think.
[Frank:] Yeah, it's probably the idler wants to be cleaned in it.
[Steve:] Oh. Right. Right! Shall I do that from the top?
[Frank:] Yeah,yo you can get up this ca... the carriage only four screws and erm
[Steve:] Right!
[Frank:] You might get at it without the er... where's the instruction?
[Steve:] Does that wanna go from side to side does it?
[Frank:] Yeah. Probably.
[Steve:] Okay.
[Frank:] Might even get at that one there.
[Steve:] Yeah. Right!
[Frank:] Also, that one could be... that looks very shiny too!
[Steve:] Right! Do I do it with that pencil thing of yours or with er... Amber Clean
[Frank:] I'll try Amber Clean Just give it
[Steve:] Right!
[Frank:] a little spraying and... and wipe it round. Yeah, the front just... hinges off at the top.
[Steve:] It's not at the back of the here is it?
[Frank:] It mi, it may do, why? Have you spotted something?
[Steve:] Dunno if it's the second one... down that way or not, but there's a crack across there. Or is i is it a crack or a scratch?... This is the right one.
[Frank:] Yeah, that's the right one. Oh I'll get my... magnifier.... Thing is, you're actually using, your eyes are not too good!
[Steve:] Well I go... get the magnifier to read the bloody... magazine sometimes! It's ridiculous! I'm going back to the... opticians with the, the new glasses I got are still flipping worse than these!
[Frank:] No, it's just a scratch I think.... Mm, somebody's been... working on this though haven't they? The sound chip's in the wrong place.
[Steve:] Crikey! Well this is high enough!
[Frank:] Yeah, it's probably worth changing the control innit, to see what happens?... They've evidently looked... you can see where they've scratched to get a screwdriver through there... to try and get the sound... the sound out.
[Steve:] Couldn't you tell with the meter er... th th th the control whether it's worth it or not?
[Frank:] Yeah, you should be able to.
[Steve:] Yeah, but I don't think the... it'll do what you want.
[Frank:] Yeah, you'll have to. Mm!
[Steve:] Want a se, want a screwdriver there?
[Frank:] I got one there, yeah.
[Steve:] ?
[Frank:] Yeah, I got one, yes.
[Steve:] Gonna turn it as well?
[Frank:] Yeah. If you can... oh, let's put it on.
[Steve:] around from one end to the other that is.
[Frank:] Yeah! Right!
[Steve:] Right now... one end to the other.
[Frank:] Is it? Oh! Go that way.
[Steve:] No.
[Frank:] Well that's. I'll get there eventually! That's not reading through anything that one.
[Steve:] That won't read through?
[Frank:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah [], I think so.... Now, one end is joined... so... a bit. Okay?... Nothing!
[Steve:] No.
[Frank:] So it was circuit then. Just try the one above cos I think they're... oh wait a minute! I'm not looking at
[Steve:] You don't want to go there.
[Frank:] I'm not... [whispering] silly sod []! Right!
[Steve:] Right, that moves.... Not much there.
[Frank:] It should go right... across at one end.
[Steve:] No! No that's
[Frank:] Oh it is open circuit then.
[Steve:] Yeah, it's trying to go that
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Steve:] way.
[Frank:] See if I reflected to this one I'll show you what the affect is.
[Steve:] Tu turn
[Frank:] Tu
[Steve:] that?
[Frank:] Yeah, turn that one, yep! Even the. Remember where you can get it back to that's the only thing.
[Steve:] Oh! Oh it's back where it was. at one end.
[Frank:] What are you doing this?
[Steve:] Ah ha, let me just twiddle it. Hang on th... check this up and twiddling time.
[Frank:] Yeah, see this is the wiper this should... well assure itself back to that one.
[Steve:] Goes when you touch it there.
[Frank:] Yeah, just touching the ends together.
[Steve:] Oh!
[Frank:] Mm! I'll try the other one... cos I've got that in bits.... If you can... twiddle that one I'll er
[Steve:] Yep!
[Frank:] second one down. It... reads totally different. That's it! Up one end... down the other.
[Steve:] More positive that one as well.
[Frank:] Yeah. That's
[Steve:] Yeah.
[Frank:] what it should read like. So it's definitely on the circuit.
[Steve:] So it's down to the chip... and we haven't had the chance of being.
[Frank:] We might have to, we might be able to get away without having to take the board out, if I... if I use the old de- solderer... might be able to just hook it out and put the next one in.... Yeah but yo, that's what they did change, you looking for the fault?
[Steve:] Yeah.... [singing] Mm mm mm mm mm mm []... Ah ah!... What was that in the? I fo forgot now!
[Frank:] Oh Feverack
[Steve:] Oh yeah!
[Frank:] Oh!
[Steve:] Oh don't!
[Frank:] Oh my good God!
[Steve:] I've done the old all been done in the packing!
[Frank:] Oh yeah? Do you know this bloody thing's jammed in the works somewhere, this control, it's fallen over! It won't come out! Swine!
[Steve:] What a duff!
[Frank:] Oi! [sighing] Oh []!
[Steve:] Oh I thought it was crack, it was only a hair anyway! [LAUGHTER]
[Frank:] Oh is it?
[Steve:] Brushed it off. have to come off with it.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Steve:] Oh that's probably what's wrong is it, oh?
[Frank:] Don't e too much! Just... Got the control out anyway!
[Jonny:] Dad?
[Frank:] Interesting old thing
[Jonny:] Where's
[Frank:] isn't it?
[Jonny:] mummy?
[Frank:] No so
[Jonny:] And why have you got?
[Frank:] I don't know what this is do you? Some sort of time switch.

[Jonny:] that's right! I there's a clock.
[Lyn:] It is a clock isn't it?
[Jonny:] There's a bit of the clock.
[Frank:] Yeah, look there's a winder in the middle there. If you put a clock bit on there
[Jonny:] Yeah.
[Frank:] you could wind that up. There's a big spring inside that!
[Lyn:] Looks like a bomb!
[Jonny:] Yes! But
[Lyn:] Oh it's a time switch with a bomb on!
[Frank:] A could be I suppose.
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Frank:] She is
[Jonny:] It's in there
[Frank:] she's never out the money in't she?
[Lyn:] Oh I dunno!... Hang on!
[Frank:] Oh! That's a long screw innit?
[Lyn:] Mm!
[Jonny:] It is. What is it?

[Lyn:] to the Oxfam shop that tall thing hopefully.
[Frank:] What about this thing here? This one you don't like?
[Lyn:] I put, no this one I don't like.
[Frank:] Oh those! They're
[Lyn:] Yeah.
[Frank:] horrible aren't they?

[Lyn:] Yeah, just coming to those.
[Jonny:] What
[Lyn:] There's the most beautiful little owl too, look!
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] ... So they're either supposed to go to a car boot sale... it would help. They're absolutely we can keep our... and then we... ooh! I haven't got a clue what they are, look! Look at these! Alright! Anything to do with the? Well
[Frank:] Mm. There's some chap's initials on all these.
[Lyn:] Mm!... I'll take those... that little teapot....
[Frank:] Mm. Oh, can if I put those
[Jonny:] Put them where I do! Here! I don't know quite what this is!
[Lyn:] Oh! Isn't that strange! It's like a big suitcase!
[Frank:] The pair of white mice are funny aren't they? Quite!
[Lyn:] Now, if you lifted the lid up then I think you could
[Frank:] Cor, I can smell them even without taking the lid off!
[Lyn:] They're very smooth! Erm
[Frank:] Is that a teapot?
[Lyn:] Yes! I think that's pretty!. Loads of pennies! But they look like... I thought we'd have a look through those, they look good!
[Frank:] Mm.
[Lyn:] Take them up to. This thing. [playing instrument]
[Frank:] There's still a pound coin there look! Ooh ooh!
[Lyn:] Makes up for the one lost.... I don't like the jug. They're the same. And tapes. Upstairs is the.
[Frank:] Look at them knives...!
[Lyn:] Yeah. She thinks you, if he thought you'd turn them out, he probably likes them.
[Frank:] Ah, lovely car boot sale stuff isn't it?
[Lyn:] Well it is really. If we could taking it for her it'd be worth it. We've got to that, people will really enjoy it.
[Frank:] Mm.
[Lyn:] What if I got rid of the clothes and kept her stuff... till we're ready to do a boot sale with it.
[Jonny:] Dad, but are you doing... are recording all this?
[Frank:] Yes.
[Lyn:] [LAUGHTER] Oh! Lovely []!
[Jonny:] Oh oh no!
[Lyn:] In here. Did you look in here?... Look in there for anything?
[Frank:] No, that's it.
[Lyn:] That?
[Frank:] Mm.
[Lyn:] Rose on the tassel.
[Frank:] Oh it's ideal stuff isn't it?
[Lyn:] Yes. What sort of stuff is in there? Okay that's it.
[Jonny:] Don't! That little room's for all the jumble sale... of course!
[Frank:] That little red hoover, is that a car hoover?
[Lyn:] Yeah. Shall I hoover it? Do you want me to hoover it?
[Jonny:] Yeah! It's got a fuse in it and everything!
[Lyn:] Hang on! The second has got to come inside. Could we, you can play with the other one.
[Frank:] Probably a good idea, yeah.
[Lyn:] I'll have to wash it out. Smells of fish!
[Jonny:] We'll need the hosepipe.
[Frank:] Mm!
[Jonny:] There's a jar!
[Lyn:] And it... and it's. You smelt inside it?
[Frank:] Cor!
[Lyn:] Yeah. Might leave the lid open all the afternoon.
[Jonny:] Anyway, this is the this room!
[Frank:] Certainly no weight to it is there? Just awkward.
[Lyn:] Just the and I, funny we put it in the car... and... Jackie
[Jonny:] Mum that had
[Lyn:] her new neighbour from next door came out... to give us a hand... he was off taking it back in the house again! Oh no!
[Jonny:] Ooh, and we said... what's he trying to do?

[Lyn:] Right, those things then can go up in one of the drawers, I think they're.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[Lyn:] Good! Did you find to test them?

[Lyn:] See if they're working or not. Can you bring me... the things up we can't find.... [tv on]... Am I right? Do they go?
[Jonny:] Yeah! . Now plug it in there.
[Lyn:] Yeah, they're fine. Just keep them for the telly then.

[Frank:] Yeah! Three, mm. Did you bring the machine with you, by the way? With that base or not?
[speaker004:] It didn't have one.

[speaker004:] I didn't have one. It's erm... but I erm, I have actually ordered one.
[Frank:] Have you? Ah!
[speaker004:] Mm. Mm. Mind you, it's twenty, twenty five quid for a base but... the thing is these... that particular tube in there is in... most of those tissues isn't it?
[Frank:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] So... and they, what they will start to get a bit low... so... that's, I mean if erm... if that one ne, if he comes in, he'll probably be here... Monday.
[Frank:] Yeah.
[speaker004:] Or Tuesday... erm
[Frank:] That one, just gonna have a little look at that one. I think it's the same base again.
[speaker004:] Yeah. Oh well
[Frank:] Or the
[speaker004:] see if I can get them out and do this.
[Frank:] Mm. [whistling] If I move this bre straight back is that enough room?
[speaker004:] Ya,. That's alright.... This one's dead I believe. It's got
[Frank:] [sighing] Oh, yeah [] I do, I don't remember what's er... I think it's... well it's three isn't it, altogether?

[speaker004:] Mm.
[Frank:] Oh no! That's just, no isn't it? Erm... de depends whether it's path or not. If it was path it would point one five wouldn't it?
[speaker004:] Mm. Point one will do, thousand volts then won't it?

That's why you said about that mod just now it's er... it's all green to me! I mean I'll, I'll have to find out about that. What I'll probably do is try and get some running, I'll take that one and that one

[Frank:] Same game, yeah.
[Lyn:] And er, it says the fault on both so we keep
[Frank:] Er er, two two different faults. This will shut you down to a spot... will take
