I can remember the 2 radios my parents had when I was a child. I still have them.

My father had a Leak Troughline 3 feeding a Varislope Stereo pre-amp and Stereo 20 amplifier. Of course he also used it for record playing (Garrard 301 + Decca 'Professional' arm) and tape recording/playback (Revox G36).

The 'Kitchen' radio was a Hacker RP18.

My maternal grandmother had a Bush VHF90, which alas is no more. It failed and I dismantled it as a child. It was replaced by a no-name transistor set which I think I still have
