AUCTION CATALOGUE This auction is being carried out on behalf of the Families of Neil Etheridge, Len Maunder G4KRX and on behalf of G0TPA. The auction will comprise this catalogue which lists items from the Estates of Silent Keys Neil Etheridge (lots 1–104) and Len Maunder (lots 105–132), and on behalf of G0TPA (lots 133–143). Additional lots may be offered time-permitting. Unless otherwise stated, all items are as seen, and have not been inspected in detail, so no warranty as to them being authentic, complete, or in working order can be implied. Buyers are advised strongly to check that mains operated items comply with current safety standards before connecting to the mains. Unless otherwise stated, no such checks have been carried out on equipment offered at this auction. Buyers should be aware that equipment may have been stored under damp conditions, with the risk of ‘leaky’ transformers which could trip RCCB protected mains supplies, or fail-to-chassis when powered. Equipment may not be adequately earthed, or earth connections may have corroded. Critical power supply components such as electrolytic smoothing capacitors require ‘re-forming’ if stored for extended periods of time, resulting in spectacular failure if not treated accordingly! Some equipment offered in this auction operates at high voltage. Applying power to equipment which has not been dried out properly, or with accumulated dirt or corrosion, can damage the equipment whilst making it potentially hazardous. Those intending to place bids at this auction will be issued with a bidding card before the start. All accounts must be settled by close on the day of the auction. You are advised that some items will carry a reserve price which will be applied at the discretion of the auctioneer. Getting to Baginton: The main routes to Baginton are the A45 and A46 which connect with the major motorways, M40, M42, M6, M69 and M1 via M45. Baginton lies alongside Coventry Airport.
