Just do a search for burndept on the internet and there is plenty of background.

It's a late 1930's good quality push-pull radiogram. Don't know why this is a typical USA design, similar to Ferguson, as they were a UK company.

How about a picture? Value of radiograms is typically quite low but I suspect this one has a nicely sculptured cabinet?...Peter

I'm afraid all I can do is describe it I know it is electrically the same as the 203 model the radiogram plays 78s if that's any help.

It's probably worth more than the PYE you have but as ever, the difficulty is trying to find someone who will take it. To attract any buyer, the cabinet will need to be in good condition (no woodworm) and complete.

If you can post a picture you might raise some interest here...
