Jez… I really love these old brochures and catalogues on 70’s, Hi-Fi and TV, Radios, tape recorders n’ all. I used to have some from the early days of video recorders when the machines were pretty huge. I’m going back to the early 80-‘s here. I also had some TV catalogues where you can’t look but for Wood Panelling! Love it all.

Radio/Stereograms – did you ever have one of these?

Thanks to Richard J Porter for finding this…

Andy Qunta… Yes, we had something like that! Spent untold hours with it!

Janine Anne Hemsley… Still use mine .

Dave Luck… Had one very similar, but with twin sliding door’s on the front, good old fashioned Radiogram.

Jim Breeds… Gosh, almost the identical model to the one Dad bought from Bryants! It was a Bush stereogram with a Garrard deck.

Kevin Burchett… I  think Madeline Joyce Morton still has one of these she did last year anyway.

Madeline Joyce Morton… Still have one it is a Bush and still works

Lucy Pappas… We had one. I wonder what happened to it?

Steve Thorpe… Had one the same, could plug a cassette recorder into the back. Then we had an ITT Music Centre with meters for recording levels! Happy days 🙂
