I was in this bric-a-brac store the other day, and there were some interesting radios on offer. Posting some pictures here in case anyone is interested.

Hoping I am not breaking any forum rules. The radio with the red tubes was not identifiable, but looked complete and quite interesting.

There were also a bunch of transistor radios.

The wooden set with the red valves is the very well known wartime utilty set.

It looks as if its had a long wave adapter fitted the extra knob on the front.

We used to have an identical Phillips record player in the sixties. I wonder if the cartridge in that one still works, or has turned to gue.

Thanks for posting.
