Found a few copies of the Wheel and Deal Classified section from The Guitar Magazine - A Loot or Yellow Pages style pull out within the magazine and full of ads
So a copy from Vol 3 - July 1993
A few stores that I believe are no longer with us
SWAG Music from Plymouth - Tune Inn from London SE13 - Rikkis Music Shop in Edinburgh - Abbey Road Music from Torquay - John Clover Music from Sutton Coldfield - Cash Guitars from Bournemouth - Sounds Great - John Savage's Music Centre from Kings Lynn - Makin Music from Ramsgate - Hertford Music Centre - The Rock Shop from Burgess Hill - Unplugged from Hanwell - Tim Gentle from Southend on Sea (still in business but not operating from somewhere in the North )
