Grain Store emporium in Blandford Forum
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. Sarah Damon is the contact (07745 477795, theoldgrainstoreemporium at outlook dot com) |

Re: Grain Store emporium in Blandford Forum
The wooden set with the red valves is the very well known wartime utilty set.

Re: Grain Store emporium in Blandford Forum
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. Aub
