Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
Hi Julian, quite a few nice radios mentioned there.
Murphy/ HMV/ Marconi of British manufacture through the 30's have some substantial sets among their ranks. If you can go to Golborne on 11Nov, the BVWS meeting/ sale you should see some nice examples and be able to chat to fellow enthusiasts; with luck you could get a set you like and find someone to fix it all for the amount you mentioned.

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
The 1930-1939 "Radio Gallery" on Jonz Valve Page has a range of radios shown together with for some, a brief description and review. It includes the Pilot but in table top form.
Might help you narrow down your search. Chris |

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
Unfortunately, most of the links in
https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ad.php?t=10510 are now dead, so the ugliness is moot!

That's why we prefer them to be hosted here, the size limit is not a problem for such posts.

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
Thank you all for your advice, I'm really grateful for your help, I'm now going to spend a bit of time reserching the ideas and models you've mentioned.
Maybe see you at the swap meet ? Thanks Julian |

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
I'm more into compact radios but I must admit that the Pilot U-106 is a pretty impressive looking set.

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
Hi Julian, yes see you there. Many of us wear name badges so we should be easy to identify.

Re: Choosing a set / Pictures - Newbie
Probably the grandest British radio from the 1930s is the Murphy A40C.
The radiomuseum example doesn't show it to best advantage. https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/murphy_a40ca_40.html but it is a very impressive set (and has a magic eye of course) and they do come up for sale now and again. Peter |
