Thompson Radio & Tv Handsworth

proper brummie kid
In the 60s I lived in Victoria Road, Handsworth. Around the corner on Nineveh Road was Thompsons radio & TV repair shop where Prashar's is now? Does anyone remember what happened to Mr Thompson from Barbados originally, or to his associates / employees who worked from there, "Whippy" was one of them and would be around 70 now? He used to build and repair the huge valve amplifiers used in Reggae soundsystems at the time, and I'm sure he was well known in the Carribean music community.
