HISTORY
I acquired this radio very cheaply years ago in Paul Stenning’s big clearout. I’d wanted one for a long time, after failing to mend (and then taking apart) one that I bought as a child at a jumble sale in the mid-1980s. I seem to remember one being used in a Milk Tray commercial at about the same time. Or am I imagining that?
It sat in a rather forlorn state in my garage until about 2008 when I eventually had time to restore it. It’s taken me just 12 years to find time to post the write-up I put together for the forum!
It seems to be quite a famous example. The set originally came from Jon Evans (Dukenukem), and can be seen on his website
here. It then passed to Paul, where it appears towards the bottom of
this page.
When I received it, it was almost complete and undamaged, but grimey, dull and generally un-loved. Ideal restoration material.
