| Comments: | This lovely art-deco design feels as solid as a house. It took the longest time (2 years) I've ever spent - trying to find the missing bits. Inside sticker is Part No. G.C. 7026. There was a wooden cabinet version - A535W. No internal aerial but it does have a gramophone input, selectable from the front switch, common of its era. |
