This is going up to the recycling centre later this week, but ahead of that I thought I'd offer it here in case anybody fancies a project. It has no feet, the lid is non-operational, it takes a few minutes for the speed to stabilise (needs new caps?), and has various scuffs to the plinth. Other...

Excellent write up, Colin. You've captured it, quirks and all.

Uswitch.

My renewal, due February, was £435 up from £320. Shopping around I've found £300 for slightly better cover.

I bought a Philips OLED just over a year ago. The picture is superb, much better than the LED it replaced. 'Filmmaker' mode bypasses all the processing to give the purest picture. The speaker system is also good enough not to bother with a soundbar or anything else. The only downside is the...

This has been sat in a draw as a back-up for the past three years but the time has come to move it on. Audio Technica discontinued the AT-F7 with the launch of the full OC9X range. I believe the nearest equivalent in the new range is the OC9XEN, though the F7 has a slightly finer 0.2x0.7 tip. I...
