Unwanted radios in local auctions

[Yorkie]

Just for a bit of regional comparison these went for twelve pounds (I'd bid ten) in my local Auction last week.

Looks like you had a lucky escape Joe!

The one on the left looks like another challenge al la the MM, but the one on the right might be a bit easier, though in need of cabinet TLC.

I often wonder where these old sets end up and what becomes of them. Often they seem to end up in shop widnow displays, 'themed' gastro pubs and for 'am-dram' stage sets. I wonder how many fall into the hands of those who will competently restore them and give them a new lease of life.

It's a mystery!
