King's Lynn Radio Rally & boot sale - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Nick_B333 · 2nd Aug 2010, 9:41 pm

I visited the King's Lynn rally yesterday to clear some stuff from the garage. There were a large number of vintage radios on sale here and I treated myself to a Dynatron Nomad (for sentimental reasons) - I can remember my paternal grandmother having one of these! I resisted the temptation to buy any more.

I took a few pics and uploaded them to my Picasa albums: http://picasaweb.google.com/nickb333/KingSLynn2010#

It was a good day, I bought the Eveready radio (your pics 3 and 4) it is in very good condition.
My mate bought a KB VC53 20" dual standard in working order for £25.
It had been in someones bedroom unused since the mid 80's but the seller said he plugged it in and it worked, so much for bringing them up slowly!
There were quite a few nice Grundig portable radios on one stall. I really had to resist!

Rich.

I almost bought that one Rich, but after discovering that it was a battery-only set managed to restrain myself. Thanks for saving me from further temptation

It certainly looks nice. I had a peek under the lid and I think there was a handwritten fault-finding guide!

Cheers,
