1937 GEC Radiogram Louis Levy & Gaumont British Symphony .

A 70 year old Radiogram which was a present for my dear old friends wedding in 1937.They moved in to a newly built suburban semi detatched house (£500!) with all new furniture ready to move in to. I was told that when my friend and his wife bought a Television set c. 1953, they decided to put this Radiogram in the front box room, here it remained hardly used until his death in 1991. I remember the room had a 100 year old sewing machine in one corner.This had belonged to his wife's mother. A large Edwardian bedding chest in the other corner, some suitcases and a very old fashioned Hoover Junior carpet cleaner.This lovely machine was behind the door.I remember on top of the Radiogram lid was a Crosse & Blackwell box with a royal appointment to the late King George IV!, nothing changed, time had stood still as it had done throughout the house.The first time I heard this machine played was in August 1990, the first record we put on was Harry Roy & His Band playing 'My Dog loves your Dog' and 'Nasty Man'!!.

These old radiograms have a tone all of their own. A certain sound quality quite unlike anything you hear today. That's what makes them so special!!!.

How did this get missed comments wise as i know i have listened many times.Due to the combination of the rich studio orchestra style of Levy and the excellant sound from the machine makes for a very good upload.

Yes it is a Garrard turntable and Pick up with a steel needle.

Great radiogram! Is it a Garrard turntable & pick-up? They look similar to a couple I have. I think there is a collaro that looks similar as well. I prefer the sound these valve r/gs have when they use a pick-up with a steel needle. The later p/u & sapphire just don't deliver the same tone IMO.

I've been uploading some records playing on my Victor Orthophonic Electrola Radiola Victrola (from 1926). You might be interested.

I have side two all ready for you but????

It seems to be even more strange: the one from yesterday was for 20 hours only in the file (finallly I withdrew it), while my last two, have immediately appeared after loading on my main page, however still not active. Thanks.Your MACHINE is playing all the time "in my room"...:-)

Yes, this is so frustrating. I have two waiting from 24 hours ago. I am begining to wonder if they will ever upload now?
