Evening All,
I just found a new home, after seeking something a little more rural for some time. The new place has the space for something I have wanted for some years but have not, until now, been able to accommodate; a console radio of some sort.
Any suggestions about sets of the floorstanding variety? The balance of my collection is tipping away from '60s trannies towards wooden German valve sets with lots of buttons and a blue spot on the badge. Did the Blaupunkt name appear on any stylish floorstanding sets or would I enjoy equally a set from Bush, EKco, Pye etc?
'Er indoors reckons that curtains and a new washing machine are more important! Aye right. ;-)
