Isn't it always this way???

I wanted this

But it went beyond what I could justify. So I ended up with this

Don't get me wrong. What I have is great. Works fine and could be described as NOS. But it doesn't have that unique look of the first one.

I've been searching Ebay UK and what do I come across... Only this

He has a reserve of £100.00

Isn't it always the same way...

Thats some cool stuff Dave... is the radio you got upside down also??

[davethebirdman]

Yep it sure is....And it works just great. Listening to the football as I type.

[davethebirdman]

Well Bubba Thanks a lot. After writing that post I went upstairs to have a shower and now I've come down and the bloody thing isn't working anymore.

There is power to the unit because I can hear the timer working but there isn't any power to the radio part.
Oh great... The kids Scaletrics has just packed up too.

Like you said ... Isn't it always this way....  NO sooner than you get something and brag on it! Bam!

[bubba]

Wow Dave... that stinks out loud... Sorry to hear that... I hope its an easy fix for ya... :'>

On the description for the third one it says "The radio does work but being American it is only capable of picking up AM in the UK." - What do they mean by that exactly ? FM tuners built in the states won't work in the UK ?

[davethebirdman]

I tihnk they would. These radios don't have FM though. They only have AM, but when mine did work it picked up AM no problems. Was there no FM in the 1950's???
