speaking of UK Vintage Hi-Fi, a Rogers Cadet II system turned up for
repair this week. Three units in a cardboard box - main amp, control
unit and phono pre-amp. See pic of similar system:

There was a little rust on the tops of the units suggesting storage
in a garage for some time, the white plastic buttons on the push
switches had disintegrated and the front of the control unit was
discoloured. OTOH, the large can electros had been replaced and all
the valves were Mullard made in UK. I doubt if they were the originals.



** Had a chat with the owner this afternoon, fist chance for me since he delivered the system to a retail store I deal with.

The Cadet II set up belonged to his father and the Mullard valves are all ORIGINAL, so 50+ years old !!!!

He also has a pair of Leak 3-way speakers with 12 inch woofers from the same era to use with it.

Nice going, Mr Rogers.
