Does anybody still have one of these. I bought them south from an electronics surplus shop.The were ex computer power supplies, 12v in those days . I boxed them for use with the cb's.
I remember one customer in particular,evey week he would ring me with yet another reason why I should sell him one much cheaper than everyone else. He wore me down in the end and got it for next to nothing; who was that man?
none other than the Milky Bar Kid MBK Dave 'Radio oOrkney' Gray.

I seem to remember Hobbit transformers "retailing" at £20 and after relentless pleeping I got one for £16. A Hobbit transformer was actually a bit of a status symbol (the iPod of the early 80's ??) so I was dead chuffed to get one. I've still got my President Veep but the transformer is long gone I'm afraid. This is MBK going down and gone. 10 10

Those were the days. We used to sit on night shift up at the cheese factory with a DV27 bolted to an old bonnet and yap away for hours. The best fun was putting on a foreign accent and fooling all the boys who sat up Wideford Hill shouting CQDX CQDX CQDX.
