There's a "wide-boy" Kingsley radiogram on Ebay Australia currently, same internals as the RKR but a different shape with a fold out turntable and forward facing speakers. Could someone confirm that this is a model KRG? Or is it KGR or something similar? My memory fails me.

That's it. I repaired one for an antique shop about twenty years ago, but I forgot to make a note of the type number. The innards are exactly the same as the RKR, and I fixed the machine by swapping in an RKR chassis.

I have had a "run" of those in off lately. they are a basic set that was "rented" out here in Adelaide by Radio Rentals. They are a basic set that not much goes wrong with. The main issue is with them is the Converter (6BE6) loosing gain intermittently and the main electros (24μF in most). I have seen them badge swapped as a few different brands but all use a very similar chassis and Circuit by AW Jackson Industries. They can fetch a decent price when cleaned up a bit Dan ‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾‾ Valve radios, They just don't make them like they used to

All the Kingsley radiograms I've seen have 6AN7's with a circuit based on the Philips 227.

Looks like Sue's Avatar has bitten the dust.
