Home Front Museum, Llandudno - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

McMurdo · 30th Jul 2017, 10:50 pm

If anyone's in Llandudno and likes anything 1940's, there's a small museum with a wartime theme just down New Street, a short walk from the prom.

Lots of household ephemera such as tins and packets of household goods, anderson shelter etc. When you walk in you are greeted by Neville Chamberlin's war speech emanating from a wireless, and later on there is a shelf of radios and a 'radio shop window' with a nice selection. I didn't tell the curator that the HMV was labelled as a Cossor.

Must make a note of that, seeing as I live on Anglesey - not far away.

What is the set on the middle of the top shelf (where the two shelves join) on picture 1?

As my sister and I have a holiday planned near Caernarfon at the end of this month, I may try to fit in a visit, given that it's a little over 20 miles away.

This post was too late for me as I was on a motoring holiday in North Wales 3 weeks ago and had an afternoon in Llandudno.

Ekco U29 from 1946, I would say.
