Re: Cossor 501 Melody Maker Working Again
I have an identical one which was one of the first sets which I bought which got me interested in vintage radio. It has the larger metal rim base valves which could be an earlier version. It has the same mains transformer with the coat popper voltage adjuster. Mine needed nothing doing to it to get it to work other than a good clean and polish. It does sound good. I think my version doesn't have the separate surround but looks like the cabinet and speaker surround were moulded in one piece and then the cream colour is painted on.
