What various RF Chokes look like

[Yorkie]

Ah, Repanco, there's a name from the past, thanks David.

Lawrence.

Yes indeed Lawrence!

Their name was made up from Radio Experimental Products and Co - 'REP and Co' I notice that the address on the label was different from that which I recall - 'Much Park'. I don't know when they started or when the firm closed down, but somewhere I must have one of their crystal set coils which featured in the Boys' Book of Crystal Sets. Fond memories of happy far off days of long lost youth! As A.E. Housman put it so eloquently in 'A Shropshire Lad':

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Oh dear, that's a bit profound for a Saturday morning!
