Talk:Watford Electronics

History
Watford Electronics did not start in the computer business. For many years they sold purely electronic components, both discrete & semiconductor. This prominatly decorated page of Everyday Electronics, now EPE (Everyday' with Practical Electronics) with a black and white stripey border.

Later they adorned multiple pages of BBC Acorn User (now Qercus), with a light green background and the old border.

They made a video digitiser and early digital camera, circa 1985.

Later they switch from BBC Micro support to the Acorn 32-bit range.

Later still, to PC magazines, using a black and green border with a white background.

I believe the original shop operated from a converted front room, not a bedroom.

I remember visiting them in a small shop in Watford, and later in a larger shop/warehouse in Finway, Luton. Google streetview shows a computer retailer called Comp UK in those premises as of July 2015, still in the original Watford Electronics green colour and looking very similar. 82.21.28.170 (talk) 09:40, 24 June 2018 (UTC)
