Lambeth didn't have much in lines of the two things I was looking for, but I did find this...
I do know it's television related, I just forgot exactly what they are called at the moment.

Antique Cruising...
I went to St.Thomas this morning to check out the Flea Market there to find out that there's no flea market open on Saturday (and for a small city of 33,000 you would think there would be a Flea Market open on Saturday). My Consolation prize was one of the Antiques stores on the main drag in downtown St. Thomas where I found more "gifts" for Johnny #16 birthday which is in a few weeks. After leaving that shoppe, I thought I would check out some of the Antique shoppe/warehouses in Lambeth neighbourhood (an old village taken over by the city of London in the 1990's). Usually when I look around antique stores I look for the following: comic books anything super 8mm, and 16mm film related. Comic books because antique dealers either overprice or underprice comics and when they do the latter, you quietly purchase as many you can afford. Anything that's super 8mm, and 16mm film related because the super 8mm & 16mm films are a piece of history, the projectors can be fix given time, and you can still get film for super 8mm cameras, you just got to talk to the right people.

the box like TV electrical thing (I think it's an Oscillator) on the right cost about $140 CDN.
I splurg on anything $40 or less (pending if I got $40).
Dude, you have to come into the big city and do some REAL antiquing. Screw St. Thomas and their big elephant!
Whatta mean big city? All the major hubs of antiquing (that word just looks awkward) in London are all the small towns and villages that were annexed in the 1990's. Hyde Park and Lambeth has the best stuff while E.O.A. Dundas is usually hit and miss. Besides, who doesn't want to see a giant statue of an elephant?
can you get back to the future with that?
only on TV.
One of my friends in London knows the whole background on this type of stuff, but he's in another city at the moment.
