A Radio Set up-date yesterday + I Player Link - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Not sure if this is in the right place Mods. I think I saw this post re a relatively rare radio which I thought was German but I'm now beginning to doubt it

Some sort of people's set maybe? Relatively tall and thin. The chap posting added that a related Documentary mentioned earlier [I recall it's 45mins long] was still on-line from February and he'd put a link on the thread which I followed but the title has now gone from me!

The BBC player page showed a man with the radio in question and I think it was about Radio [as entertainment] during or after WW2, in Germany or otherwise? I thought I'd made a note to download later. I also thought it would be easy to find

I've tried everything I could think of but probaly not something that's blindingly obvious. Any help appreciated. Hopefully someone will know what I'm on about immediately.

That does seem very close Graham. I'm fairly sure it was a set with that circular feature. I wish I'd paid more attention at the time but it did seem to feature in a program from THIS year otherwise the link provided would not be still up! I can't find anything more recent than 2018 here but I will keep going. Thanks very much for your input. I'm sure that was the set or a variant! There's probaly a simple explanation [to suit a simple person

]. To be honest it's the program I was interested in, as I would usually pick these Docs up and wondered how I'd missed it? I've checked the Radio Times for February but nothing there!
