I checked in and went up to my room. It was cheap and er cheerful adequate. Well the sheets were clean and there was a loo. I wasn't planning to spend much time there anyway.

Oh, and look. There's The Mitre hotel right next door! That's grand, I'll be able to go and have a look round it tomorrow....if I'm fit.

I left Clitheroe at about 3.30 and was bound for The Mitre hotel which was near to Manchester Cathedral. It was a mild, dry day in Clitheroe but as I got nearer to Manchester the rain steadily increased and it was a truly abyssmal day by the time the cathedral sprung into view.

Sorry I'm late, Ernie Bishop was just shot dead in Mike Baldwin's factory of all places! Yes, a great time was had by all and although I didn't take many photo's, I will share them with you. Now, I know you're all dying to see what Peter really looks like as, like me, you probably have a pre-conceived image in your head. Your illusions

I hereby cordially invite you all to my humble abode. Could you each give me three years notice before your arrival. You can all talk about me tomorrow as I won't be online, I'll be in King Street being very serious and sober...... Well I'll be in King Street. Andy T.

Sorry Rob I don't know much about this Beogram but I do know it looks gorgeous. I love the way the arms 'hide' in their little room when not in use. Someone will surely be along shortly with a more technical reply, doesn't sound like it is a very expensive fix. Welcome to Beoworld and thanks for supporting the site by becoming a gold

One very happy bunny Thank you so much for putting up with me and for your kind posts Thankyou Lee for a great weekend, perhaps we'll do it again in August when I come for the telephone equipment. THE END

Now then, a light tap on the lower left of the Beocord and B****cks! Transport screws! Any way I got it all sorted and , in order to take a decent picture for Lee to add to the news section, I got out the brasso to clean the brass trivet on the hearth and here is the result.

Feeling much lighter hearted I began to position the 7000 as I wanted it. I took quite a long time over this procedure as I wanted it perfect. Everything plugged in and ready to go. I think I'll listen to Carlos Nunez on this cassette first, I haven't heard it for two years. Doesn't she look lovely!

There!
