Above links to a very high quality picture of a Grundig valve radio.
There is also an interesting story to go with it.
Do members feel that more radios are being collected purely for the recent fashion for retro objects?

Yes I do. I can just imagine the latest 'fash' in Islington being to have one of these on next to the AGA, the owner no doubt having spent a bl**dy fortune to buy it from the local 'I Saw You Coming' shop.

Yes, mixed feelings, more radios saved but costs increase for the enthusiast.

Instead of going to the Forum Member I should have taken a trip to The Smoke and touted my DAC 70 down the Portobello. "Only £150 to you Tarquin, because it is a reading light as well as a radio"
