I noticed in "Grantchester" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grantchester_%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.

a drama set around a fictional 1970s US record label...the attention to detail with regard to classic silver Japanese kit is amazing.
