Sorry, part exchanged it for the Chippendale. Gram usually performed ok, but radio was poor. Traced the problem to a small inexpensive component, which would be easy to fix. Trouble is it was buried beneath a 'birds nest' of wires with perished rubber insulation. Around 10 connections to undo & rewire, there are limits to to my courage!!!!! If you're interested in vintage radio, check this link: vintageradio.co.uk/ He also does gramophones & phonographs from time to time & there's a magazine you can subscribe to. His 'bargain basement' also has some good stuff.
@@GramophonicReevolution Not winding down, but winding up those who visit the website! Now you remind me, I recall years back that the website was not kept fully up to date, but thought that with so much potential online business, things would have changed. I take his bi-monthly magazine & there's always something new in it, plus interesting articles. Its not all radio, there's televisions, gramophones/phonographs/radiograms as he gets them. Here's a short slideshow of a vintage hearing aid I bought from him: ruclips.net/video/2k0FPpBqSFg/видео.html Indeed, he deals in any audio/television/electrical curiosities.
Nice picture to treasure. I have signed photo of Leslie Sarony which he gave me when I met him whilst he was appearing at Hull New Theatre in 1967. Forgive me if I've told you this before.
There were several of these tongue twister songs about, must have been fun when the audience were asked to join in. Have also uloaded: 'Does This Shop Stock Shot Socks With Spots' 'Sister Susie's Sewing Shirts For Soldiers is also on 'RUclips'
+oldfartatplay1320 What surprises me is this song starts in Turkey, having been, you certainly can get decent coffee there. I'm lucky to live in a part of town with lots of coffee bars & competition has certainly driven standards up. However, in the home, we still put up with mediocre instant.
Its a Marconiphone 535, dating to 1932. The radio doesn't work very well due to a small part which should be easy to fix. Trouble is I'd have to disconnedt a lot of wiring to get to it. The rubber insulation on those wires is brittle with age. Scary job, wouldn't want to make things worse!
Suppose the broadcast studio would be similar to making a recording, i.e. performing to an invisible audience. In the early days there would be vacancies for broadcasters, so recording artists would seem the logical choice. Have no info as to whether Charman broadcasted or not.
Thanks!, really shouldn't have got caught there being a J.C. fan! This is perhaps the only time I've heard him on an electrical recording, as we know the voice technique was different. Only half an excuse tho'!
Great upload :) Gorgeous machine. Would love one like this, one day .

Yes, it was written and published in 1926 by R.P. Weston and Bert Lee. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bert_Lee

Glad you enjoyed it. I too have 'Peggy O'Neil', its sung with a nice Irish accent, never heard it sung as a tongue twister.
I've always been given the impression that the British can't make a decent cup of coffee.

+Paul Harrison Atrocity! I'm sure there must be summat in the Geneva Convention that proscribes that.... ;-)
Absolutely, that's why the singer had his slave do it.
Cool radio, I love it. Model ?

Interesting thanks, never heard that version, but Billy Murray does some good songs.
