Mrs Brown's House

This is the second of my Norfolk explores, and I have Mikeymutt to thank for this one Unfortunately he was exploring elsewhere at the time, but he has promised to take me exploring this weekend so all is forgiven!

This well hidden bungalow was quite nice, with a few interesting bits and bobs to be seen. As this is not my find I cannot go into too much detail about the property.









The record player was a LEAK, although I am not sure of the model number. However, I believe that the amplifier sat to the right of the turntable is a variant of a LEAK Point One. The Type 15 "Point One", which is very similar in design to this one, was the first commercially available valve amplifier with distortion of 0.1% and dates back to 1945. This amp has a Mullard ECC33 valve:

Thanks for looking,

Lovely stuff there miss rubex..so glad you got to see this beauty..lovely info in the amplifier there.you know your stuff.so sorry I was in other parts of the country. .but next week we will get some great stuff in.

I really enjoyed this, I could easily spend all day looking around somewhere like this. Good write up and info. I wonder if the Oreck vacuum still works?

Interesting. I'm thanks for the info on the amplifier. It is a rarity because Leak finished in the 1970s so their amps are sought after by hi-fi buffs. The amplifier also uses KT66 valves. So, there is a very nice class A amplifier. According the The Valve Museum the ECC33 valve came out in 1949 so dating the amplifier would be around 1949. Nice photographs.

Nice rubex!

Blimey, what a place! Excellent write up and photos. Thanks for sharing

Smashing find,so many interesting things.Great pics.

I really enjoyed looking at the photo of the amp and thanks for all the info!! That would be an absolute beauty if it got restored! They run for a small fortune aswell :O very well done on the post young lady and great photos
