Hi,
One of the first sets I was given as a kid (and didn't butcher) was one of these. It had lived in a joiner's shop for years and had its fair share of wood shavings and dead spiders within.
Knowing nothing back then of leaky caps, perished wiring, etc., I just switched it on and waited. And waited. After checking that the valves had warmed up, I realised that I hadn't fitted an aerial.
Eight feet of flex out of the bedroom later, I was rewarded by absolute loads of stations and spent hours slowly trawling the short wave band. I still have some scraps of recordings I made off air.
I eventually gave it to an aunt and never saw it again. However, I have now got two more which work well, but need the usual work doing. Goodness knows when I'll ever get round to it, and I imagine I will eventually let them go to a good home.
They are indeed lovely sets.
Cheers, Pete.
