Thanks for all your responses.  I thought I had this group set up to email 
me if there were any responses, but I messed up somewhere and just 
discovered these today.

GOJY appears to still be going, and is well worth  a visit if you're anywhere 
near East London. I
think they have a cafe there as it's become a visitor destination

http://www.godsownjunkyard.co.uk/

BTW on the subject of places to visit, any Tim Hunkin fans should know that 
he's just opened a
London arcade full of his eccentric machines :

Likewise - ISTR I asked John S if he could come up there too - this was 
just before the move when Chris was threatening closure. Lovely bloke - 
after his diagnosis, he went downhill very quickly - for all his "I'm just 
a working class lad" bit, he moved in pretty exotic circles and was a 
shrewd businessman.

Its partly that visit that made me get interested in learning to a bit of 
my own tube bending...

Below is the failed attempt to re-gas a de-tubulated B7037. Oh, well...

Now how are you going to convince the seller that you didn't drop it?

Fortunately it was courier-delivered by Ebuyer and I opened it the same day. 
There was a corresponding puncture mark in the outer cardboard carton and 
styrene packaging. Ebuyer did not argue. They sent a new one and collected the 
old one. Ebuyer were very good about it.

[neonixie-l] Clock-It back online

[Quixotic Nixotic]

A while back I took Clock-It.net offline, as I wanted to make the site 
responsive for mobile devices and also convert it to Nerdpress so that people 
might comment. It rather fell by the wayside as other projects took hold, not 
least of which was going into the very depths of hell and back.

A word in my shell-like from Nick de Smith a few days ago suggested I should do 
something about Clock-It. Which I did.

So please look at http://www.clock-it.net .

Nothing much that is ultra new I am afraid, but there are rather a lot of 
projects half-finished in boxes here, so hopefully I can finish some of those 
soon and add them.
