UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum - View Single Post - A poor old HMV at the Recycling Centre...

Today I took a trip down to Bickenhill Recycling Centre (or "waste reception centre" as they now call it) and, as is my wont, I had a bit of sneaky-peek in the TV area. Inside were the usual stack of old plasma and LCD sets jumbled all over the place, but there was also a 17" mid-1950s HMV of some description. I'm afraid I don't know the model number.

Of course the operatives wouldn't let me take the set but if anyone has any contacts in said recycling centre then it might make a lovely set for somebody to have a go at. The cabinet is really nice and, save for a few valves, the innards look all present and correct. Even the tube is intact. There's no back cover though.
