I saw and heard a pre-production sample at the Bristol Show last year and I have to say I rather like it!

Obviously it should have a Garrard autochanger on it but I suppose you can't have everything...

Looks interesting, Adam I've got three Dynatrons in my self store only one has a Garrard changer, the other two have GL 75s :) Now a 4HF in a Blue Spot. that's what I call a radiogram, the authentic sound of Ska :)

Certainly it has some style, and looks a lot better than some current audio products. Not sure however if the built in speakers are up to much, or if they are sufficiently far apart for decent stereo.

Some have said (tongue in cheek?) that it ought to include a turntable (necessary to make it a true radiogram!), yet the idea of a TT in the same cabinet as the speakers doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

What 2k and no vinyl playback I'll stick with my Regonda..

It's a pretty warped idea of a 60's radiogram. Having used my parents one back in the day it was a full sized cabinet with valve amp and radio plus a BSR autochanger. The luxury end was Dynatron which included a Lenco deck. :stalks:
