This week I am staying in Norfolk - I hired a little cottage for myself and the dog, so as I was in his area Mikeymutt offered to take me out for a day of exploring which I gratefully accepted :)

In one day we visited 7 houses and a church - this was one of the stops on the day and one of my favourites by far! I think this place has everything you'd expect from an old farmhouse.

I hope you enjoy these photos and I'll have a few more Norfolk posts up in the week!









































Thanks for looking,

Rubex

Nice find and good photography. Love the two wardrobes as they look like a matched pair with book-matched veneer - very rare. Your first photograph shows a fireplace with coal in the scuttle, fireplace tools and slippers. It looks like the fireplace was used but it needs a clean though. The house is not to bad condition just a little attention.

Amazing! I don't know how you keep pulling these out the bag!
Thanks for sharing :)
 
That is a lovely place with some great pieces and a fine set of pics, looking forward to seeing more.
 
I've been lurking in the forum for quite some time so I have seen a lot of your posts, Rubex, and you always seem to pull them off very well :) another spectacular post! Loving that Regentone Radio, I think it might be a Model ARG - something? (Anyone? ;))

Thank you Narrator for your kind words about my posts :) to the best of my knowledge it's actually a combination record player - the bottom speaker section slides forward to reveal the record deck. I think it could be a model ARG 99/A, but with everything else to photograph in this place I didn't examine it very closely so I could be wrong!

I checked on the Antique Radios, 266 272 Antique Radios listed website and it is a Regentone ARG99/3. The year of manufacture was 1951 to 1953, so can I say that this would have been a wedding present? The price in them days would be around the £31.00 mark.

Thanks very much Hugh Jorgan :) I just had a look on the website you linked and saw it has 5 valves in it - in good nick, the most expensive one is priced at more than the radio would have been bought for originally! It's a shame you have to pay to sign up for the website because I'd love to have a more thorough look at the schematic - they don't draw them like that these days! You mentioned this could be a wedding present and I think I agree with you on that. I still wouldn't mind receiving one of these today as a wedding present if I was to ever get married :laugh:

Thanks for all that info guys :) very interesting! I just used an online calculator to see how much that £31 would be today and apparently it's around the £870 mark! (If the calculator is any good) so it would have been quite a considerable present. Those schematics are quite something Rubex, I do love looking at the way they used to draw the resistors and the coils in the transformers :lol:

In the 1950s that would be an expensive and well cherished radiogram. If you want the schematics of this one and thousands others there is a very good website containing valve data and service sheets of vintage radios, etc. You have to pay for them on the site but as I repair and restore vintage radios, record players, I bought a few CD Roms from them. Its worth it. An instant download costs £1.99 for a PDF. Here's the website
