'Practical Wireless' Magazine adverts from the mid 50's

For some years after WW2 there was an abundance of cheap ex Gov't radio, radar and electronic components, equipment and part assemblies available through numerous shops. The best of these were in Lisle Street in London's Soho district or 'Henry's Radio' in Edgeware, London. I often made trips to these shops and bought components, equipment and valves to either repair or make up units, eventually becoming well known by the owners and making many friends.

Typical whole page adverts in mid 50's 'Practical Wireless' , magazines. There were many shops along Lisle Street at that time selling ex Gov't WW2 radio equipment and components.
