Hi all, Steve from the Gong here, hello everyone. I've been given a valve HMV radiogram in need of some TLC, and I'm going to pick some brains if OK. Happy new year to all

Cheers

Steve

Welcome to V-R.

Unless it's been in regular use in recent times, don't be tempted to power the radiogram up until it's been carefully gone over for potential problems.
