Well thanks for the advice all. I just parted with my 2 smaller Murphy sets (the A186s) and the guy who took them on has a Murphy console set. I had a listen to that the other day and was impressed by the sound quality. The idea of something American, now that appeals. Methinks a look through the dozens of U.S. old radio sites may provide inspiration.
I must buy a working, presentable piece though, as I have sort of promised to clear the 'in-tray' before restoring anything else but I could get away with another purchase if it was in pristine, well cared-for condition.
I should just go & buy something from Past Times, moving house is stressful enough!

Must away, research to be done.
