Default Re: orange loudspeakers ?

Hello there,
Here is a picture of the completed reciever. It is a very big light coloured wooden cabinet with a very high gloss finish. It is made by Orion and is model AR62. It looks like being in eastern europe and the valves are made by Valvo. It uses the common AM/VHF valve lineup with an ECC85, ECH81, EBF89, ECC83, EL84 and a EZ80 rectifier plus a EM80 magic eye.
The set works very well after all of the switch contacts are cleaned and the usual capacitors replaced (and a nearly dead magic eye ) The sound output is very loud with such a big loudspeaker, tweeter and 2 electrostatic speakers. It just picks up classic FM as it goes up to 100MHz

Very pleased with this set, The cabinet was in excellent condition without any bumps or scratches at all. It was well looked after. Better than in the bin which is where it would have ended up if I was not interested in it. (got a few funny looks carrying it through work )
