Default Re: Radiograms. Will they ever be wanted?

I'll admit to having broken up a cavernous 1950s Cossor myself about 20 years ago - there just wasn't enough inside it to justify all that space. Those here now all give better accounts of themselves in that regard: the big EMI instruments are really quite full, while other 30s ones (Murphy A30RG, Philco 269RG) are passably compact. Then there's the Murphy A592R baffle 'gram, so peculiar it had to be given a home. Squeezing in more has become harder, though, and the last to get in was the HMV 664 maybe eight or ten years ago, a close decision despite its motorised tuning and KT66 output.
