Not just another Dansette, this is the Dansette RG31 radiogram, which mans you get radio too, not to mention those sought-after period legs (which are removable).

eBay watch: 1960s midcentury-style Pye G66 stereogram
The radiogram or stereogram isn't always easy in the eye. But this Pye G66 stereogram really does that that on its side.
eBay watch: 1950s Decca Stereogram
Know an electrician? If you do, there's a good chance you can bring this 1950s Decca Stereogram back to life. The 'looks' are already taken care of.
eBay watch: 1960s Dansette RG.31 with legs
Not just another Dansette, this Dansette RG.31 comes with legs and a radio.
It dates back to 1964 and has apparently been serviced, so it is in full working order and 'very good condition'. Those legs are original too. The RG.31 has a four-valve amplifier, with controls for treble, bass, on/off and wave change. The latter for the built-in radio, which is tuned with the dial on the front. To finish things off, the bakelite Dansette emblem lights up when it is turned on. Check out the listing for the full lowdown.
Complete with a replacement stereo compatible cartridge and brand new stylus, the Dansette RG.31 is currently at just £1.60 right now. Definitely one to keep an eye on.
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.
eBay watch: 1970s Thorn Ultra stereogram in rosewood
We have sung the praises of the humble stereogram or radiogram in the past, but there are certainly good and bad examples amongst the many that hit eBay. This Thorn Ultra stereogram in rosewood is one of the better examples.
That exterior alone must have made it a pricey affair 'back in the day' – looking not unlike a piece of Merrow Associates design. Inside you get three-band radio and I suspect, a decent deck – although the seller doesn't give too much detail on it.
Condition is described as 'very good' (bit check the images on the site to make sure) and the price is a Buy It Now of £125. The seller is also looking for offers, so you might get it cheaper.
