Here's a picture of the Tower of Sound at the Tate Modern .

How many can you all identify? And I wonder how they've managed to plug them all in

They (the radios) all look a bit too bright, I bet they are empty shells with a bulb in them.

Nice to see so many in one place!
I did something similar with TVs during the analogue-DTT switchover. Maybe those might be easier to ID ?
