A pal has a small manufacturing facility where the radio is on all
day. It's been cobbled together using his Hi-Fi throw outs but last
time I heard it sounded remarkably good. The speakers are a rather
kicked pair of Tannoy Yorks slung from a roof truss and driven by a
Quad 303. ;-) It's mainly on R1 FM with occasional bursts of R5 for
footie. The tuner, branded Goodmans is pretty old and has died.

It occurred to me since the MW reception is pretty diabolical due to
interference from the machines etc, that a FreeView tuner might be an
easy and cheap option. There is a UHF aerial feed available.

Any thoughts on make for something reliable and stable and cheap?


Ask him how much he wants for the Yorks Dave???


Heh heh - you're not the first to ask this. The answer is since he has to
listen to the system when he's there he'd rather have something decent,
and isn't short of a few bob.
