Hello to you all!

 

Kind of just signed up.

 

Trained as a domestic/industrial electrician.

After a redundancy, took a job with Thorn Security and worked removing/installing Intruder Alarm systems between 1994 and 1999 (Until the merger).

 

While at Thorn, I was lucky enough to work with some of the more senior engineers, many of which had to manufacture equipment on-site during the early days- I was also fortunate enough to work with security alarm equipment dating from the 1950s up to the more modern equpment.

It was seeing the variety of methods used in years gone by that sparked my intrest in vintage kit!
 

Moved on in 1999 to work in the Film Industry as a "Practicals Electrician"; building anything from simple boxes with flashing lights, to light-sabers, sonic-screw drivers, control panels, electronic props, animatronics and anything else with wires and resistors!

 

 

Hi there, welcome!

 

Have moved your post to a new topic

Hello

Hi and welcome

 

I have a cousin that worked at Pinewood Studios building sets and stuff for the Carry On films, and many other films and series, I always thought that sort of thing was an interesting and varied job.

And you got to see Barbara Windsor's hooters.

I wish ! No I never got to go and have a look at any of it, much to my disappointment.

Hi Bagpuss

Interesting line of work. I think I worked on some of those old panels too! Can't beat a box full of relays and LEDs

Welcome.
