Greyman 32,989 Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 (edited) I no we have a couple of lovejoys on here and was hoping for some advice, I was given this by a very old man when I was 12 years old, it was old when he gave it to me and I,ve owned it nearly 50 years so is it worth putting in storage or selling or nothing, it’s made by PYE and has three pin plugs that pushed into the battery, I removed the plugs so I could attach a more modern battery years back but kept the plugs so they can just be soldered back on, over to the panel for a valuation, some silly offers and a few insults please just found my grandfathers toy boat still working as well must be around 100 years old Edited November 11, 2020 by Greyman 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
