Just bought some Hammond chokes from razzmatazz-it on eBay. They arrived 2 daoys later direct from Hammond in Basingstoke. :D

Thats good to know. I think you can order direct from Hammond though.
I think the main reason why Europeans no longer want to travel to the USA is the big time difference. For me, it's now 7pm. In the USA it's now 1933.

Bluebell Audio was always my Hammond supplier (before we fell out), and I read somewhere that Philip Ramsey was not trading anymore ?

Were sent next day delivery as well.

Just seems strange why not have their own UK eBay account. Must be a tax thing - might be moving hq because of Brexit.

As Bluebell doesn't exist any more, I tried these guys https://www.enrgtech.co.uk/ and it worked out well. Prices seemed good to me.

Only looking to post in this section did I discover this thread already existed so didn't try razzmatazz-it on ebay nor ordering direct.

Another option for Hammond with stock available showing which was helpful. Didn't get charged shipping for a small order which might have been a mistake but hey, I'll take it. Took about a week.

I'd missed that. Anyone know what happened to Bluebell Audio?

I know Philip Ramsey had been in poor health for some time and had been trying to keep afloat by selling off assets.

Don't know when he stopped trading.

So do I, although he fell out with me I wish him no ill.

You can/could indeed order directly from Hammond. I ordered some bits over the phone, lady confirmed they were in stock, and I picked them up a few hours later.
In the end, it's all physics...
