Luckily I use a brand called QUAD as my HiFi amplifiers specifically a 44 control unit and a pair of 303 poweramplifiers these use all discrete components so even though the 303's are 50yrs old they can be easily repaired and there is still a factory service workshop, in fact my much younger 44 control unit (only 30yrs old) is back there at the mo but my old 33 control unit has been put back into the system whilst I wait for the 44 to return (QUAD currently have a backlog of 6-8 weeks work)
It's funny to think that in 1967 someone could be listening to pretty much what I do today and there are very few modern Amps as capable and adaptable as these are

Shows that despite the naysayers, high culture is indeed more commercially viable.
How many TV channels were there back then? 4?

2023 is not shaping up so well. Not even a week in and we’ve had covid ripping through the vulnerable family members, a family friend dying unexpectedly and way before his time, and a much-loved neighbour dying suddenly last night. I am longing for just a normal boring, cold, January.
It is blue bin day tomorrow. Our neighbour who just died always put out his bins on exactly the right day. You never had to check the website, just look out of the window instead. He was always right. This week, he put the blue bin out a day early.
sorry for your friend & family. not that it matters to me but I can't tell if your deceased neighbor was just thinking ahead & got the bin out early or you've been surprised by today being the day to put it out, & now it might be too late for you to get yours out?
my elderly Mother is still taking her own trash out & it makes me crazy
in all seriousness, take care, be safe

Nice that you can still 'buy British' with hifi even today. That's some use you are getting out of those amps!
You can still buy washing machines and fridges from a British manufacture. Think we did have a manufacture of TV's not sure if they are still going.

British made Hi-fis are well regarded here, certainly.
In washing news, I need to wash the bedding...
A speed boat seems a very odd choice of prize to be honest. It's not something just anyone could use. Lots of people don't like boats, you'd need somewhere to store it, a car with a bit of power and weight to pull it, a fair bit of money to fuel and maintain it.
