It looks remarkably cheap and restorable.

A French wireless set with no LW coverage is a bit odd, I have the European home-market version of that in Stella, rather than Philips branding and they're sweet little things, dead easy to restore but - typically of the maker - have an eccentric layout with permeability tuners that look like the interior of some mad hybrid half piano, half longcase clock. It's a rare sight outside of the embassies in African countries with strange, unpronounceable names and even stranger indigenous diseases. Fascinating thing, I like it muchly! 
That Akai R2R machine is unbelievably cheap, even the shipping is reasonable. If only I knew someone whose conversational French happened to be a bit ahead of my somewhat rusty command of the language that I haven't spoken or written in the almost 32 years since I took my highers. Hmm, some sort of go between, as it were. 
Yes, French cheapness explains how you only got that for it. If the one you mean was a suitcase type, then they're worth rather more here though radiograms in big wooden cabinets are virtually worthless unless they're European premium ones such as that Telefunken, Saba, Tandberg, some but not all Grundigs, B&O etc. Then, you can pretty much name your price as certain parts, when removed and sold separately, can fetch around 300% more than the complete set.megadethmaniac wrote:explains why my mrs got £70 for an old Toshiba Radio/ record player which had to be sent to France. Apparently it was to be broken for parts. Postage was £30
