Marconi Model 347
Acquired this set on Ebay for a very good price. Cost more in shipping. Have a soft spot for these Marconi sets, as long as they don't have the potted capacitor block, where you have to dig out 12 ...

Trace Elliott big boy’s amplifier
Local musician brought this amplifier in. Not a lot wrong, but some puzzling things. Open circuit fuse holder? Couple of resistors way out of spec. Strange as the parts used are good quality ones. ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz2vnstM--IThis set came in as a donation from the manager of the local municipal dump. Had quick check of the tube with the tube tester before we started to attempt ...
Ferrograph / Vortexion / Clarke and Smith Wearite tape recorder.
I was fortunate to make friends with a Dance Band Leader, Ken Mackintosh. He resurrected my love for playing the Alto Sax. He showed me how to play properly and then allowed me to play lead Alto in ...
Ekco Radio A28
This is one of my Ekco sets, A28, probably the best one made. Several short wave bands and the usual Med and Long. New capacitors throughout and a new EM34 magic eye. The set performs so well. You ...

Leak Stereo 20
Okay Boys and Girls. Nobody argues here. Right??? In my opinion, probably the best amplifier to come from the UK in the 1960s. I have restored many of these and have never been upset by the quality ...

Murphy A262C floor standing

Philips EL3548 reel to reel
Yes I know, what am I doing wasting my working hours on a little tape recorder. I guess it's a bit like someone seeing a puppy by the roadside and thinking, I cannot leave that there.A quick power ...
Beard P100
Now some people say these amplifiers were unreliable. From a personal view, I like them. They sound nice, well made and have a good damping factor, controlling big speakers well. Ok, this had a few ...
