I picked up a Marconiphone 880 at the last Wooton Basset auction. I wasn't supposed to be acquiring any more AM only receivers due to the imminent closure of BBC R4 LW, as I listen almost exclusively to BBC R4 and R3, but having a mechanical/electrical engineering background I couldn't resist a motor tuned set with a reasonable cabinet and described as "working". I haven't done anything with it, other than gently power it on and try the motor tuning, which appears to work. Seeing your posts may encourage me to queue jump it and have a play during the next week.
I searched the Radio Bygones index: https://nzvrshome.files.wordpress.com/20...ndexes.pdf for HMV 1200 and Marconiphone 880 with no success so I guess that the relevant article is that mentioned by Steve and in Radiophile 82. I do have most issues of Radiophile so will have a look.
