Firstly, some manuals free to a good home!
Bob Pratt is having a clear out of his cupboards and has the following looking for a good home (or else they will go in the skip).
The two volume maintenance sets for an AVR2 and a BVW75.
Bob can be contacted via me – I will pass on his email address to you.

Please could you let everyone know that very sadly the wonderful Tom Corcoran who directed Late Night Line-Up, The Old Grey Whistle Test, The Live Aid concert in 1985, Wogan and Eight Days A Week amongst many other BBC studio and OB programmes, died last Thursday 23rd October after a short illness.
