Hello to all,
I have been lucky enough to obtain an unmolested Decca PC/ML console radio to restore. It was purchased new in 1939. Very fortunately it came with its sales receipt and nicely detailed general Decca range brochure of that time which makes for some very interesting reading. This Decca TV got me thinking as I have never heard of a surviving Pre-War Decca television.
That 60gns in 1939 would be about £4,100 in today's money!
Do any of our forum members know if any have survived? Thanks.
