Default Vintage Ekco radiogram value?

Hi there,

I wonder if anyone could tell me anything about this radiogram... specifically, how much it might be worth to somebody interested in this sort of thing.

Thanks in advance.

This looks like an export model, maybe with no FM waveband. I can't see the Autochanger inside so as to better date this and suggest a value for you. Likely to be from c.1956.
When working it should give a very nice (Mono) sound, but don't expect it to be worth much.

Thanks mate. At least I know. I need to shift it. It came from a house clearance of an elderly relative. What would you suggest I ask for it?

Does it have a model number, probably on the back cover. A photograph with the lid open would help too.

£25 would be realistic IMHO but it's not the most appealing model I've ever seen, so it could take a while to shift it.

Thanks for this photo. Yes, this is from 1957/58 and the Garrard autochanger's tone arm has been fitted with a later Stereo-Compatible cartridge so it can play stereo LPs, albeit in Mono. This may be of interest to EKCO collectors and you may get up to £25-00 for it.

I got one the same in fairy good condition. I liked the idea it was a little different being a tea planter and it doesn’t take up to much space . It’s on the todo list. Only paid a fiver at a radio rally Andy
