Regentone help with identity - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hi Folks, Can anyone help with the model number of this record player. It’s obviously a Regentone Handy Gram. Can you identify the turntable, I can’t see any makers name. Don’t let the colour of the mat throw you it’s just something I cut to fit. The valve line up is UY85, UL84 and UF89. I have it working now and even the TC8 is ok. Here are the pictures.

Ah, I used one of those for a couple of years around 1977 before acquiring a Hacker Cavalier, and quite nice it was too: I've not seen many since. The turntable's a BSR UA8.

That BSR UA8 dates your player from late 1956 to 1959. An often overlooked model, it's a good sounding unit with a quite solid, deep cabinet. But don't play any Stereo LPs on it as it currently is!

Possibly AGH2, on Paul's discs (though that says t uses a UA6).

I see this has been mentioned before, it's the same as this one but again no model I.D. Hopefully I have attached the link.https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...ight=handygram Is there any chance someone would have the missing badge? please.
