    I stand corrected. Having done a bit of googling it was clearly a BSR (dark cream in colour). The cabinet colouring was very similar to this one. Is it a Ferguson?

    My parents had a radiogram from the sixties, there was a certain smell from stuff of that era, my little Dansette smelled the same. When my mum got a Technics separates system ( which I still have in the bedroom ) my Step father turned the radiogram into a cocktail cabinet, at least it didn't just go to the tip.

    I think the smell is the smell of burning flesh! All those dead skin cells being toasted by exposed valves!
