bagpuss_24 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 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!
