vacbear58 - Grundig was the radio console my neighbor across the street owned. A multi-band console with record player, we couldn't breath on it! It wasn't a long unit, but so beautifully crafted, sitting next to their front door as you walked into their Sears-catalog home. The sound was unforgettably wonderful.
How about the Robert's radios...always wondered if they were of any good quality or just omnipresent successes in marketing?

Normally there are loads of these on ebay and of course when i go looking ....
The term we use us "Radiogram" and for a very long time (from around the early 1930s) a radiogram was something to aspire to - long before TV
Only some rather tatty examples at the moment i am afraid
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1970s-Gru..._HomeAudioHiFi_Turntables&hash=item1c4704d4a1
I remember these being on sale. I always thought they looked too much like a made over radio
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1970s-gru..._HomeAudioHiFi_Turntables&hash=item23425dc04e
This must be early 1960s, better condition but expensive

Roberts Radios
For a moment i had to think what you meant there - Robert S has a collection of radios? LOLOLOL Then the penny dropped
I really don't know much about them - they have the retro look of quality but I really cannot say if they are - I don't believe the brand has been around THAT long. Some are really expensive, some are really quite cheap

"Radiogram"Is a new SW radio format VOA is using-it works on frequency shift keying a digital signal so it works with analog transmitters.On the listener side he needs a computer with the VOA Radiogram program in it.Then by connecting the computer to a heaphone jack on the radio you can decode the text and picture program.The program can be downloaded from the VOA website.I can't give the frequencies-but the Radiograms are broadcast from Greenville,NC.A short Radiogram is broadcast to Cuba on the hour at some times during the day.It is experimental.So if you should tune in a VOA SW broadcast and hear FSK tones-that is the Radiogram.The Radiograms have been succesful here and listners from all over have sent in their reception reports.VOA then sends them a QSL card.

Roberts Radio and Grundig
Thanks vacbear58...Allistair, those are cool units, but the one my neighbor had is coincidentally for sale on eBay right now, here and photos below
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Grundig-Maj...pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item4176bc3d74
Roberts has been around for over 80 years; they must be doing something right.
I used to DX with an old vintage floor Zenith model(with the green tuning eye)..have a few QSL's, somewhere in storage..that's very interesting about the Radiogram, I'll check it out. Thanks Rex.

That's an older unit still, mid to late 1950s I would expect. It has a BSR turntable. That's a mighty lot of money for it in my opinion. These also crop up in the UK, just non on sale (that I can see) at the moment

Oh yes, my buddy's dad bought it sometime in the 1950s. Once he let us tune in shortwave. That was my introduction to sw listening and I gathered QSL cards using an old wood floor Zenith radio am/fm/sw with tuning eye. Love those tuning eyes.

My favourite range cooker
From the mid 1950s through the 1960s we had a small variety of double oven range cookers, usually 40 - 42 inches wide as a TOL option - surprisingly though there were more of these in the 1950s than in the 1960s and eventually they more or less died out (and yes, I do remember the final iteration of the New World range in the 1970s) till the whole concept or a range cooker (i.e. two ovens side by side in a variety of arrangements - often it just seemed like two smaller cookers in one casing) in the 1990s.
With one notable exception - The Carron Capri (Electric) or Carron Cordon Bleu (Gas) and this is my favourite variation of it. Into the 1980s it got tarted up with glass doors, and some other "refinements" but I always preferred the cleaner styling of the earlier version.
That said, I think that anyone paying £199.00 for this needs their head examined almost as much as the person selling this for its certainly not in what I would call good condition

Gosh, I would kill for a Scirocco Washer-dryer. (second post)
Available in the US it would be even better, I'd probably walk across the country only to get it and pay watever the seller asked me to pay.

1970s Chic
Not 1960s as stated - and actually fairly late 1970s at that. I think this kitchen was self assembly if I remember correctly. All told, given the condition and the appliances this is not a bad price

TOL for its day, late 1960s. Looks in good condition. It has a burner similar in concept, although maybe not in practice, as the GE Sensitemp although of course this is a gas cooker

Dont recognise the make
But it seems in good condition for age. I would say it is 1970s and personally I love the blue colour

Needs a LOT of TLC
But this could be a nice Kitchen, shame some of the original handles have been replaced. At least the price is realistic
