Default Two lovely Cossors.

My avatar tells a story, that my Cossor 375 is my favourite VR in the looks department. In fact, quite a few Cossors of the mid thirties had that particular, bold, 'Odeon' art deco style that I like so much. I also have a 364 'thermometer' set that looks nice, but I recently had the opportunity to buy a 385 set that is very similar to the 375 in looks. For now I've not delved into an electronic restoration, but I've worked on the case using my refurbishing skills and tricks to make it look nice again. Anyway, I wanted to see what it looked like compared to my very similar 375. Here's a composite photo. Which one do you prefer and why?

The 385 is on the left, 375 on the right.
