Today it was my lucky day. Walking home from the local supermarket , with a bag loaded wth food. I came alongside a pile of rubish. My eyes catched something like a wooden box. Getting closer I recognized it was an old radio. After a quick investigation it turned out to be a 70 years old Marconi-435TC. By a temperature of 25 degrees C. I carried both,the set and my foodsupply back home.(heavy) But it is worth the trouble ( hi) The cabinet needs a lot of restoration and some electronic parts are missing. But thats no problem. We will fix it at a rainy day.
