NVCF 2008

This was good fun (as much fun as you can have in a barn full of decaying electronics, to say nothing of the punters); I think Keith P and myself have become part of the supporting cast as we have now attended most of the fairs since about 2001. I particularly enjoyed a chat with a man who services record-cutting lathes (as you can imagine, he is one of the very, very few people who do). Also
talked to a bloke who reckons he’s listened to more than 1,000 pairs of the iconic BBC LS3/5A loudspeaker. Not all at once mind you.

• The NVCF site
• Disc cutting lathes: this looked fun
• LS3/5A: unofficial support site; very old ‘vintage equipment’ review; another interesting site (note link to the 1986 review)
