Hacker radio table - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I stumbled on this for sale on GUMTREE - for sale £10.00 - it is dated 24/8/1972. I have never seen one before, I guess either :

(1) HACKER sold these TABLES to place your beloved HACKER RADIO on in the house ?

(2) It was the property of HACKER in the factory and either got "liberated" from the factory by one of the workers/management or perhaps sold in one of the bankruptcies/liquidations that took place ?

A must for any HACKER COMPLETEST ! (P.S. - it is not me selling it )

Anyone seen one before ?

It's a stand for the Hacker Centurion music centre, http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_6EzvmhURfx...0/DSC00077.jpg ,which fits nicely on top. I have one myself, but with much shorter legs, only raising the poor old Centurion off the ground by about eight inches.

I have one of these too, didn't know it was for a music centre, had my RP38A Hunter on it for 2-3 years, very close match in covering although the wood on table is a bit lighter.
It now resides up my loft. Mine had a 72 date stamp on it too, Can't remember day or month though.

We sold a lot of them and not all for placing a a Centurion on them.
