A lot of houses build on steep blocks had them. The occupiers of such houses are very lucky. The 'granny flats' are a perfect place to display radios and also have a bit set aside with a workbench for mending the chassis, providing that rising damp isn't an issue. ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ A valve a day keeps the transistor away...

Yes basements aren't common in Australia. Those people that have them are very lucky As you say a great storage place for TV's & Radios as long as dampness isn't an issue. A lot of our American friends have basements

Yes, the house is built of bricks high off the ground so I have a huge walk in area under the house where I can stand up under there.. But I won't lie ,it's full of stuff! TVs , Radiograms,boxes ,furniture , large drill press and tools .... No room left to even hide a body ! Pete

Yes I have rare lounge from 1960 and It needed Re springing ,Which Ive done but I needed some very Rare clips which I finally tracked down in London so I have bought those and they're on the way , Its 1960 Contemporary 3 Piece lounge, Fabric is still all original. Actually my wife found the clips . I had all but given up and thought, Hell here's another thing I have to make !,, But then Venie found them in London Put up a Shed steve ,,But not a Tin Garden shed as they get moisture in them and not so good for storing.
