Interesting article. Thanks for posting.

I'd be grateful if you would post a photo of this console with the doors open. It looks very familiar to me from the outside, but I need to see the dial and knob set-up to be sure. TIA.

Hi Toby I really enjoyed reading and looking at your write-up. I live on the Gold Coast & would one day really love to visit your collection to inspire me to collect as well. I have a few valve radio but not one valve TV. I've always wanted one to ticker with. Congratulations on your wonderful collection!
