I just *knew* that those well naughty piggies would be here when I got around to posting my offerings to celebrate this jolly fine day in the old countdown ... but I don't think the doggies have quite got the hang of it somehow have they

Last 2 piccies posted purely for their cultural and artistic value respectively of course

And now they're trying to take my life away

Forever young I cannot stay

On every corner, I can see them there

They don't know my name, they don't know my kind

They're after you with their promises

They're after you to sign your life away

Hmmmm, long time no hear and all that ... so just had to go find it !

Ah-ha .... I see your 1957 edition of Ye Olde Electronics Mag and was just about to point out that you might perhaps be about 10 out in the counting department but then I noted the most excellent and jolly impressive looking IC-67 Metal Detector on the cover of said Mag D@mn, I always wanted one of those for some strange reason but never quite got around to building any one of the dozens that appeared in UK Electronics Mags various

Anyways, having seen your January 1957 IC-67, I'll raise you an August 1967 ... it's waaaaaaaaay better and so much more important than some stupid old US metal detector that's for sure

OK guys I understand the OP's logic as its the same as mine, and I understand everybody else's logic as to why we have this too and fro of days.

So because I love posting in this thread and we are getting to the really quite exciting part with some smashing odd pics from me I will post both dates..........
