Poor old Wingfield Castle, now part of a naval museum in Hartlepool is in need of a bit of basic TLC. Despite the rather shabby exterior and most of the interior, the saloon houses a really nice clean cafe area which I was pleased to visit having been round all the other interesting parts of the display.
Built in 1934 by William Gray of Hartlepool for the L.N.E.R as a ferry between Hull and New Holland, she was finally withdrawn on 14 May 1974 with the opening of the Humber Bridge.
The ship has since 1986 been a floating restaurant at the Royal Navy museum Hartlepool.

The Yamaha PSS-380 is a home mini synthesizer with sliders to control Spectrum, Modulation, Attack, Decay, Release, Vibrato, and Volume for each of the 100 preset voices. The sliders are not continously variable, but have 8 positions each. The synthesizer settings cannot be saved. Two voices can be layered. There is also a 3 song memory.
The PSS-480 is another great FM home synthesizer with adjustable Attack, Decay, Frequency, Feedback, Modulation, and Volume, and 5 banks for storing your favorite settings. Effects include Vibrato, Sustain, Reverb, Portamento, and Duet. This synth has MIDI in and out, as well as programmable drummer, 5 song memory for both chords and melody, and a feature-packed Auto Accompaniment with intro, ending, 3 fill-ins, and Orchestration controls for Rhythm, Bass, Chord, and Orchestra. There are 100 PCM Styles and 100 FM Voices. There are hours and hours of fun to be had exploring all of the features of this little instrument! And the sound quality is actually very good for what it is.
