Remember that mill outbuilding close to me with all the NOS and well-ripened old tubes in their hot and dusty loft? I've had a text from them that they are looking to close the business. They are waiting for the go-ahead of an auction to sell off all stock in one go. If anyone wants to have a rummage before it's too late, better do so quick. Let me know. I can be available any time to suit. (You'll need overalls, preferably a dust mask, a head torch and a bottle of water. )
They appear as Timber and Tools on eBay.

Re: Hallam Mill Stockport
Sorely tempted! My "collection" has turned into a "hoard" however, so probably shouldn't, not sure there'd be anything left there I'd like for the collection?
Forgetting the tubes in the loft, I do wonder what other rare & interesting things are amongst that stock?

Not a lot else really. It's mostly tools and hardware. I hear you on "hoard". Me too.

Ironic. I've bought woodcarving tools from them on EBay before.

I couldn't go, much too far for me but I saw those GLS lamps on FB, maybe some could be posted seeing as they are smaller items?

The GLS lamps on fb were from a different seller over in Macclesfield it it's the one I'm thinking of.
