I was looking for a hobby since I became medically retired. My father was a Radio/TV engineer and taught me as a child all about his trade. I became a City & Guilds qualified Radio & TV engineer also when I was 20. I would love to get into repair/restoration of vintage radios. I've been bitten by the nostalgia bug I'm afraid.

Interesting! I have a 1960's Pye PZ109 from New Zealand with 5 bands. Still working. Wondering if its worth keeping/restoring.

Found this site whilst looking for info/manual for Grundig 3090/56. Unsuccessful in my attempt, however your site is very interesting. Bookmarked.

What a fascinating site for an ex-electronics engineer like me who has been doing software fort eh last 25 years. I'd forgotten how much fun 'real' electronics could be. Have just bought my first set to play with again...

Thank god I stumbled on this sit. I have been looking for ages to find a local guy to look at my 1970's Dynatron Radiogram. I contacted Richard In Doncaster, and he said he would be glad to take a look. Wish I had found this sight before I put my Pye 1005 record player in the hands of a butcher.
Many Thanks.
Chris Witney.

Hi, Great site. It was intersting to see the Philco Five Star Baby grand. As a school boy I found one of these on some waste land in c.1979. Only the cabinet. My father reglued some loose veneer, vanished the cabinet and glued in a speaker grill made from a piece of old sack. I fitted two speakers. one was a fairly modern 8" and the other had its damaged cotton bag and cone removed and served a s a tweeter. The unit was fed by my 1974 ITT KB Tiny Super radio. My first Hi Fi !!!
