I have a bit of a soft spot for these! I have 6 in varying states, well, 3 VHF80’s and 3 VHF80C’s, also a VHF81, same thing but in a wooden cabinet. The VHF80C was actually my first valve radio, my Dad got it from a closing down auction of a kitchen company he used to work for back in the late 90’s, no cable on it as it was used as a display prop in one of the showrooms! I put some on with a choc-block and plugged it in, and it surprisingly worked! Even the mains filter managed not to explode. Lovely radios!

Regards
Lloyd
