Hiya John,
You do have a nice collection of radios mate, something to admire Back in the day I bought quite a few rigs and just loved using them all when I could. All lost in the mists of time now. So glad that people still admire the old rigs and cherish them, nice trip down memory lane seeing them still about.
73s to ya

I used to see these radios in a few shops around the west end of London when i was a whippersnapper, i was impressed by their appearance compared to normal run of the mill type radios around in the 80`s and still am
