McMichael Stereogram - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

jweight123 · 22nd Jan 2011, 7:35 pm

My Grandmother recently past away. I have been left with the fun job of clearing out her house. When i was doing so i came across a Stereogram, its about 6ft long and about 2ft in width. Its has never been used and is a lovely looking piece. I am going to attach a picture of the top of the piece. If anyone out there knows anything about the piece guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks
James Weight

Sadly, these things aren't much in demand and don't have a lot of value. Have a look at this thread.

I doubt that it has "never been used" Why buy something and have it as an ornament? Even it was unused the monetary value would be virtually nil.
Consider the Dynatron Marlow I recently was given, this is a high quality gram with a high spec, and was an expensive radiogram when new, I would be very lucky to get £10 for it on Ebay even though its mint and is fully restored!

I would have thought this would have been your Grandmother's pride and joy. Stereograms were expensive new and often used that particular manufacturer's top of the range chassis at the time.
Sadly as others have said these have very little value, I have three radiograms here. One was free, one was £5 and one was £10.

Seeing as it has family importance the best thing to do is keep it and enjoy it or pass it on to someone else who would like it.

Being a McMichael collector I'd be interested but I have little space and despite being in Canterbury next month no way of transporting it!

Josh.
