Looking for a 50's/60's radiogram. Got to be a good looker, more a matter of style over substance, as I want to gut it and fit a technics deck etc in it! Found a really good one, the kind with the speakers built into each end, drop down lid over the deck area, and enough room to fit what I wanted, but....... its 3" too long! Cant be more than 3' 6" max. Anyone know where I could find one?

One like this Blaupunkt would be nice!

I've got a beautiful one in my garage, it would be a bit hard to explain what it looks like (it's cream and maroon with a polished wooden top) has sliding doors that open from the middle, valve radio obviously and record deck, I think it still has the circular piece of paper giving instructions on the turntable. I bought it in about 1992 (was a lot of money back then even) but have never had room for it anywhere. I've never seen another one like it. Maybe not what you're looking for but I'll send you some photos if you want to have a look. I think it's one of the first stereo ones.

Blimey Pete that sounds like a kitchenette, if ya know what one of those where

How weird! That exact model is on eBay [here] - £25 but it is in London and finishes today.

I managed to get some photos but they were taken in the garage so they are not great, the whole unit is in need of a clean. It has 4 legs which screw in, I took these off when we moved. Like I say, probably not what you're after.

Nice! I have mailed him to ask sizes, as it has to fit in the space under my open plan stairs!
