Mr brother has one of the old stereo cabinet thingies from the 40s/50s, the electrics still work but the speakers are shot so he's going to modernise the internals

Could've sworn I had a pic of it around here somewhere...

[nervous]

in fairness, since me and Nige are in norfolk, that looks pretty modern to us. where do the minstrels sit?

Unfortunately she didn't come with the sale!

What's the odds I crack at least one mirror when I pick it up!?

[Parrot of Doom]

I'd be very careful using that, unless its had a complete internal re-wire it could be very likely a fire hazard.

[paulie-mafia]

oh man, that is awesome! i clicked the link thinking it would be some beat up old technics with a big plastic lid and then i saw the pic... nice piece of kit

[ultimasimon]

It wouldn't suprise me if that would be worth something in a few years time.

[eccles]

looks like a gangsta aga to me!

Anyone see the one on Antiques Roadshow last night?

Cost £249 - which was the same price as a 3 bed semi when it was made

I still have my grandparents wind-up gramophone, complete with volume control (you open the cabinet doors wider to get it louder ).
Dates from the early 30s (the gram, not my grandparents!) and plays shellac 78s with disposable needles that crack addicts can only dream of

My Granded had a lovely old Hacker radiogram (FM only receiver and turntable), no idea what happened to it when he died, hopefully one of the family held onto it .. it was a beautiful piece of musical furniture.
