    That sounds good. Try alternatives to fleaBay. Freecycle and Gumtree can be good, but don't overlook your unexplored cupboards. I found an 50s HMV valve radio. If you are not a hoarder you probably know someone who is.

    This one sure sounds good.  Wonderful loose bluesy playing too.  I am with Ms B. in wanting to do this and not having found the right radio - yet.   I am also afraid I will screw it up..  :)

    brilliant!! I keep looking on eBay, but can't believe how much these old radios are going for!! Retro is very "in" at the moment!

    Thanks John! You have been a source of inspiration.  Now if I can just figure out how to make my money back so that I can afford to by more radios to hack!
