I fear they will never be loved by many. I like them very much - and am lucky enough to have been given an allowance of "one" in my collection. Looking back, I'm quite convinced that I wouldn't even get that now - and as has already been stated, it's all down to space.

Doubtless if more of us on here lived in rambling mansions we'd be pleased to home a good few, but as it is, only the oldest and poshest models will survive.

I'm not sure I should confess to this, but were I allowed I'd also be tempted by one of those 70's Queen Anne style Dynatrons... I've always had a soft spot for them.
As it is, I used up my quota on a Grundig 8055 Arundel from the mid 50's. 6 speakers, two FM bands - and fitted with the optional auto-reverse reel to reel tape recorder.
