I certainly won't be bidding on any.
As for the estimates, it's anybody's guess as it's the old story of what they are worth on the day to the people who bid. I've known things estimated at tens of pounds go for thousands and others only get about a quarter of the estimate.
For what it's worth I think some of the valve set estimates are 'Hopeful.'
In the past radios haven't made much, unless they are early ones. I seem to remember an Ultra Tiger III which would have needed completely re-finishing, if not re-veneering, made over eighty pounds and I've no idea what the electronics were like.
If there's something I vaguely fancy I bid enough so I won't kick myself if it does go for a very low price but that's all.
