Hello all.
I have scanned one of three "service van stock lists" that I have from the early 1960's I might have to post it in three parts as it is twelve pages long. It is most probably from a service vehicle in Melbourne Australia, and shows the service stock and quantities for the local brands listed.
The prices are in pounds, shillings, and pence. Australia did not change over to dollars and cents until 14th Feb 1966
I find it best to expand the pictures to view them. This document might be a bit long, but this is worth reading completely as it gives a most comprehensive look into the past.
When I did road service work back in the mid to late 1970's I carried a large case of valves and a back-up case of valves as van stock. (In Australia we called them valves, unless they were a display, picture tube magic-eye etc)
I also carried resistors, fuses, some semiconductors and a range of knobs for the popular brands. To begin with, I did only B&W TV road service, the older techs kept the colour TV service to themselves.
I do not know which company this list comes from. Perhaps someone will recognize the part number (company) code.
The other pages of the list will be posted soon
