Default Re: Marconi 4816 1590 survivor!

Nice set - accessing the fuse was always a challenge though, especially when the light was bad! They would soldier on in kitchens with the EHT stick (early ones were enclosed) fizzing and arcing.
The speakers in the 14" never were that good - ditto the CRTs. Nice looking sets, though.
Hands up who opened what they thought was a 1590 to find - valves? The only clue was the absence of the battery socket.
