Default Re: KB ER30 radio

My Gran in Thornaby had a KB ER30. It was in the back parlour sitting on a large Victorian chest of drawers.

As a very young lad on holiday I remember it began to shriek it's head off, similar to when the EF39 looses it's screening earth.
How Grandad heard the football results above this racket nobody will know but he did!
I presume a decoupling cap had gone O/C.

It was collected for repair and returned the next day. A very good radio.

I can see it now sitting on that Victorian chest.

Alas Gran and Grandad have gone, So are the gas lights, the milk horse, cobbled streets, outside toilet, Gran's house, Number 5 and even the part of Walker Street where Gran lived. [A66 widening etc] It was another age. John.
