GEC radiogram on The Repair Shop on BBC 2 this evening. The only work covered was repairs to the motor and the tuning drive, and tripping the electrics the first time it was tried. He had a copy of the Trader sheet which he says he found online.

I would imagine a lot more work was done than we were shown. Many of the jobs featured are clearly many hours of painstaking work.

The programme briefly covers three restorations in half an hour so obviously not much time for detail. Some of it is about the stories behind the items and what they mean to the owners, along with some brief history of the items.

This radiogram was returned to a delighted owner with a 78 RPM copy of The Laughing Policeman, which she used to listen to with her sister (who is no longer with us) as a child.
