I've just managed to breathe life into an old green set that I've had here for a few years.
Like the radio's of the time, it was made with a Bakelite body and had 5 valves.
I nearly fell off my chair when I switched it on and it warmed up, giving the National Programme, instead of the usual explosion and blue sparks.
Having said that, the blue sparks would have been more interesting, they were talking philosophy(sp?) on the National Programme!.
The National Programme is more like the BBC, than the BBC is!. [Linked Image]
