Turning on an EKCO U354 - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Mine has sat without use for a couple of years, turned it on and it works, no surprises there. Currently have the PM programme received. Even the DM70 glows wonderfully. It is good to have a bit of kit that just works, very well too.

Yes, these Ekco models seem to be pretty reliable, I found one in a loft tidy up a couple of weeks ago ( same chassis but a brown case anyway) and on plugging it in it still worked fine despite being up there for years.

Merlinmaxwell, if you PM me your address I will pop some user instructions in an envelope for you. The final clearout of my parents house threw up this manual and I did recall they had one of these Ekco's mentioned in a thread on my similar Ekco but that is a U353.
