Hi I bought one of these cost £78 ish. wall mounted the floor standing speakers on brackets each side of my fireplace .Changed it for a Crap Jap Trio 1500,Garrard sp25,Wharfedale Lintons, what a mistake,but I was young and foolish then,and was persuaded that SS were the thing and valves were old hat.

The reason I suggested it was that I bought one last week - £37 on eBay!

It's hidden in my parents' garage at the moment waiting for me to be able to sneak it into the house when the wife's not looking! When it does make it home I'll send you a picture or two.

Oh, and for anyone else wondering what we're banging on about - http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/radiotehni_rigonda_symphony.html

Mine was a bit posher than that,sort of curved rather than square,and very highly polished,same speakers though.Not sure the TT was same.
