Hello everyone,

Hope this is the right section... apologies to all concerned if not.

Does anyone own a "Chinese" decorated Black Box? If so, I would love some good, high-resolution photos of the decorated front panels.

If you can help, please let me know and I'll send you a PM with my e-mail address.

Thanks,
Nick.

Hi Nick,

I'll have a go with mine - can't promise much, I'm hardly an ace photographer and I imagine eliminating glare is no easy matter. As you probably know, no two of these players are decorated alike.

Regards,
Paul

That would be wonderful, Paul

I found these if they're any good ?
I no longer have the player now I have a better camera - Ain't THAT typical !

I have an original ad from "Wireless World" April 1954, in black and white though.

Regards, Mick.

Thank you too, Mick!

Paul has already photographed his machine and e-mailed me the pics as promised, and very good they are too.

Thanks again to everyone who contributed.

Moderators, do feel free to close this thread if you wish.
