Default TV's in Looses shop in Norwich.

Hi all

Whilst in my favourite junk shop today I spotted three more mono sets for you. All are upstairs.

The first is a Murphy, large screen, 90 degree tube with controls under a pop up cover on top of the set. Still fitted with a round pin plug.

Second set is a KB Westbury. Large 110 degree tube, very slim hi gloss cabinet with all four legs. Dual standard. Tuner felt seized.

Lastly I saw a GEC set, not sure of model, but rounded cabinet with sliding doors.

I'd love to see someone from here buy one and do a success story on it. The KB looks in interesting set. Never seen one before.

The shop is called 'Looses' and is in Magdalen Street in Norwich. There is a car park nearby and they have a loading bay where you can pull in to collect your goods. I have nothing to do with the shop, just would like to see any of these go to an enthusiast.

Cheers, Mike

Do you have any idea how much they want for them? I'd be interested in rehoming one or two!

No prices on any of them.

I know the GEC with siding doors (BT302 or similar) is £50 - it was there some months ago when I called. It's a bit tatty to be honest. I'd expect the other sets to be a similar price, maybe a little more for the KB Westbury as it has more 'eye appeal'.

The Murphy and the GEC do look tempting!

Any more additions to the shop recently?

I visited Looses a couple of days ago, but only had time for a cursory look round the ground floor.

Spotted a Bush DAC90 and a couple of Juke Box record selection panels. The type which are fixed to a wall and allow customers to make a selection.

You'll need deep pockets if you fancy the KB Westbury- it's for sale at £130! I got the impression the figure was non-negotiable.

Rather a shame as I've been after that model for years. At that price it'll have to stay there.

I visited Looses again yesterday and this time I managed to have a good look round.

http://www.loosesemporium.co.uk/

The Murphy V410 TV shown in post #1 is still there.

Lots of radios, record players, TV's, film projectors, juke box panels etc. can be found there. I didn't spot anything I fancied at a price I was prepared to pay though.

There are plenty of other junk/antiques shops in Magdalen St and also in nearby St Benedicts Street. Many had radios and record players on sale.

I visited Looses again recently after a gap of nearly two years.

I could find no sign of the Murphy V410, but did spot the attached GEC set which may or may not be the one in post #1. It seems to lack doors and runners? The back is curved with no flower pot ever having been present.

There were quite a lot of Bakelite sets including a DAC90A at £30.00 and lots of overpriced record players no doubt aimed at vinyl revivalists.

A DAC90A for £30 is not at all unreasonable IMHO.

Quite true, but I'm not buying any more radios.
