eBay watch: 1950s midcentury Grundig radiogram
Yes, there are a number of old audio systems on eBay right now, but I'll wager there's nothing else like this Grundig radiogram.
In terms of design alone, it's a stunning piece of furniture. Out of the 1950s and offering up some cool midcentury style, it looks immaculate, despite pushing 60 years old. Check out the plethora of images on the site to see it close up – we can hardly see a mark.
It's also (just as importantly) in full working order, the radio and the record player, which you'll find by pulling down the cabinet just above the speaker. You can see that in action over the page. Oh yes, you can also wire up your modern-day electronics to it – that's also shown in action on the site listing. Downside? The price, with the seller asking £840, although you can make an offer.
