1946, large bakelite table set, 3 band. Up market model to the A22, as it had push button preset stations and a proper 2-stage AF amplifier. In many ways the AC only A23 was a better set than the A22, also designed by Wells Coates, but it's not round. So it is not £500+. (It's not an A23 either, it is a U49 which looks identical but is AC/DC, same valve line up as a DAC90.) All good condition, not tested but complete , very slight hairline crack at one side, hard to find but is there.

1938 Vidor battery portable, 2 volt British base valves. Quite a nice looking portable, fitted with a home built mains power unit, giving 2v and 90v DC. Works but requires some work. Note we cannot guarantee any aspect of functioning or safety as it is an amateur made mains unit. Should be inspected by a competent person before attempting to use on the mains.
