    Default Spotted in TV or films

    I noticed in "Grantchester" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantc...28TV_series%29
    http://www.itv.com/hub/grantchester/2a2958a0007 ) the other night that there was what I'm pretty sure was an FM radio. This was an Ekco upright model - about 3 ft tall - with a bass reflex speaker, and we had one just like it at the end of the 1950s and during 1960s. For its time, and for its price, it had a great sound.

    Maybe this is an odd "sport" but noticing old equipment can sometimes be fun. I was recently in Madeira, and on a tour round the island there was a cafe/restaurant which had some old kit - and some of it looked familiar.

    Maybe others have spotted kit which they were familiar with in TV programmes, or films, or while travelling.

    Referred to as 'Jamirocrap' in this household,
    I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan
