An interesting old Coil

[Yorkie]

That's the Beast young Lawrence, splendid!
12/6d with Base my life. I bet that was a surprise in 1929

Good bit of sleuthing by Alan Douglas and Lawrence to have ferreted out the info! Radio was certainly a rich man's game back in the 20s & 30s. 10 shillings in 1929 equates to £28.00 today, and 2 shillings for the base adds another £5.30. It's evident when looking at vintage components that they were made 'up to a standard' - not 'down to a price'. Interesting that the advert in WW infers that the coil and base were cheap, as they may well have been by the standards of the day in comparison to similar items.
