Marconiphone Ser No 14836
Hi, looking for some information on this Marconiphone I found in the loft.
Its series number is 1/24 14836. It's pale blue dirty from dust but in good condition It has an ex. Speaker at the rear of cabinet, rev counter, magic eye, gram/radio, mic etc. I've been unable to find one like it on google. Please see pictures Ideally looking for a date and worth Also any takers please let me know from the Whitstable area. Regards Megan Last edited by Station X; 3rd Sep 2017 at 2:02 pm.

A picture of what's under the lid would be useful.

Looks like a Marconiphone TR2 tape recorder:

Re: Marconiphone Ser No 14836
Makes you wonder why on earth they marketed two such similar machines at the same time...

Re: Marconiphone Ser No 14836
Uses a Collaro Studio deck, i concur with Graham, made around 1960
Probably worth around £10 - £20. |
