Re: Myers double Road Test
Most of the TV stuff is absolute Tosh! When i did Antiques Roadshow, the presenter knew nowt about my machines and totally relied on a pile of Millers books and my info pre filming, then they come over as true professionals in the final cut.

That made me Chucklepennymachines wrote: ↑Sun Jan 21, 2024 3:29 pm Bear in mind the programme aired in Jan 2011 and the fellow said he bought it 20 years before that. £50 for a large, non-working, E/M machine was par for the course in 1991.
