I had to resort to sitting in a Methodist church hall for a fix of rust this week, at a charity auction. 5 hours of boot fair land fill punctuated by a Burgess bandsaw, Parkinson vice and the lot I went for, a set of 20 Addis gouges, poor condition, but not beyond repair. Never been to an auction before, and it was a great people watching experience, but the gouges eluded me sadly.
On the plus side, I did end up with an early eighties Pioneer separates system for £9! Not exactly a hand tool but, with the exception of the tape deck which has been sent for a minor repair, in full working order with leads. Sounds awesome; ear bleedingly loud, not been above 3 on the volume and it was too loud for a semi detached!
The sound has a different quality, I guess because it's all analogue, no compression.
