Can you believe it's 2023 already!

After a couple of very slow years with lockdowns etc. time is now flying past.

With that said, I have settle into Ballarat like I've been here for decades. Although finding a good doctor is going to be very hard. This is probably the quietest place I've lived. Portland was quiet, but there was the constant sound of the waves from Cape Bridgewater beach. I even managed to go away over the Christmas / New Year break.

As I'm now 75% setup, I taking on jobs that are larger than a mantle or small table radio.

One constant over the past year has been the production of video. There are now 60 videos on YouTube.

Finally, the languishing Patreon channel is being worked on, so memberships are welcome, and will attract exclusive content.

Best wishes - Andrew

Today another Philips, this time from around 1948.
It's a Model 112 Rev. c that had been left to rot since 1994 and was in sad condition.
