The set in question is a Steepletone 'Edinburgh', which is a wooden cased mains only (double wound transformer) stereo with CD Recorder, etc. It isn't mine, but belongs to someone who has just moved to Chipping Norton from Charlbury, which is about 9 miles SE of here. Their new home is down a slope so not in a very good signal area. There is a specific instruction in the user manual stating 'do not connect an external aerial'. The aerial wire, as is often the case, protrudes through a hole in the back of the cabinet. I know that Steepletone and other similar brands, don't have a good reputation, but as this is one of their better products it's probably worth adding some kind of 'proper' aerial to it.
