Dimensions: W 140 x H 56 x D 44Era: 60s/70sOrigin: EnglandRestoration: Fully restored Installation of a bluetooth moduleAbout:In British English, a radiogram is a piece of furniture that combines a radio and a record player.The word radiogram is a cross between radio and gramophone. The corresponding term in American English is console.radiograms reached their peak of popularity in the post-war period, supported by a growing interest in records. Originally, they were made of polished wood to blend in with the furniture of the 1930s, many of which were designed by the leading designers of the time. An expensive home entertainment instrument, equipped with a larger speaker than the home radio, the radiogram soon began to develop features such as the automatic record changer, which accepted six or seven records and played them one after another. Some recordings could be ordered as a box set that would combine the recorded piece in order to fit an automatic changer configuration. In the 1940s and 1950s, sales of the radiogram, coupled with the new FM waveband, and the advent of the single 45 and the LP record, meant that many manufacturers considered the radiogram more important than the burgeoning sales of television sets. Later models took on the modern lines, piano gloss finish, and plastic and gold trim of the 1960s. Stereogram versions became available to take advantage of stereo recordings. As tape formats gained popularity, some later models also incorporated reel-to-reel tape decks, cassette decks or 8-track tape players, or the ability to connect external tape decks.As the development of the valve radio ended in the late 1960s and transistors began to take over, radiograms began to become obsolete. By the end of the 1970s, they had been replaced by more compact equipment, such as the hi-fi system and the music center.Because radiograms were manufactured in such large numbers, they are not as rare or valuable as television sets or table radios of the same period. An exception to this are the models of some manufacturers that have become collector's items such as Hacker Radio Ltd . Dynatron, Blaupunkt, Braun and SABA. Reference : 235758
