Hello, I love all things vintage and admire vintage radios. I have joined to seek advice. As I would like to sell my Grandmother's old His Master Voice Television complete with instruction book in good working order. I plug a VCR and DVD combo in to the back so I can watch digital TV. I think it's a late 70's model as it's colour in a veneer cabinet on chrome wheels. Any advice as to where I could sell this and what the value would be?? Cheers, Liza

Hi Liza, The model number and a photo or two would be helpful. You can send photos to the administrator as per #6 in the posting instructions above the quick reply box.

Okay, I have sent a photo. I am not sure of the model number off the top of my head and I can not find a similar on in the internet.

Hi Liza, That looks like a HMV B-4803. I found one abandoned in the ~~bus~~ bush a while back, complete with the chrome stand! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ULG7o37yC4. Value-wise, these sets don't seem to be worth much. I have trouble giving sets of this era away for free! Sometimes though, there is someone willing to pay $10-$20 for a bit of "retro" to display in their living rooms. The chrome stand does add to the value, I'd imagine. Chris

Abandoned in a bus? I'm surprised the driver would have allowed it on to begin with... Or did you misspell 'bush'? ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Thank you! I just found the user manual it is indeed a B4803-(A). The days when television user manuals were 6 pages and with one input jack. Ideally I would just like to find it a good home. As it's feels like a waist to give it to landfill when it still works a treat. Liza
