I'm openingabottleofwine.
Judging by the 'patina' of the arm, it looks as if the whole has been stored in a damp cellar for a year or more! And what was going through the owner's mind to paint the lovely reeded aformosa plinth blue?Originally Posted by Macca

My guess is that it was in shit-state previously - like you say, stored for a long time in a shed or garage - and he had half a tin of blue paint lying around.Judging by the 'patina' of the arm, it looks as if the whole has been stored in a damp cellar for a year or more!

Seller probably isn't the original owner, he's picked it up in a clearance or something, probably already painted like that when he got it.

That’s a Ringmat by the looks of it.
Definitely a candidate for the bin!

When you say 'Good looking turntables' no-one thinks 'Thorens TD160' - but wait!

I can appreciate a bit of vintage as much as the next man, but that gets a hard 'no' from me. A lot of money for an oversize clock radio that hasn't even any nostalgia value for me.

It's a good-looking clock radio though, well I think so.

If I was looking to buy a vintage clock radio that was going for silly money I might consider this:

I used to love my old clock radio, what better way to be woken up?
Well, maybe with one of these:

No radio though, which is a shame.
