  3.19) John Birkitt


John Birkitt
1, The Strait, Lincoln
+44 522 520767
Lots of stuff for the practical enthusiast. Many bargains to be had if you've the patience to sort through the extensive heaps of assorted electronic miscellany. Good stocks of new components, tools and books, masses of RF gear and very competetive prices.

Two shops side by side cater for the "consumer" type goods and the "electronics" type. Does mail order, takes visa/access etc. Mail order list contains lots of unusual goodies that you'll possibly never see on offer anywhere else.

  3.20) N R Bardwell


N R Bardwell
Abbeydale Road, Sheffield
+44 742 552886
Possibly the busiest electronics emporium I've ever visited. Specialises in radio gear and alarm equipment but many of the obligatory bags of "unmarked, untested" goodies makes Bardwell's *the* place to go. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff. Cheap. Very cheap. Thriving mail order business with some good bargains in IC's and discrete's. Write/phone for a price list.
