    I used to own a BWD 820. In fact I could have got hold of a pallet full of them for bugger all, back in the early 90's. I used to be in charge of the support equipment at the RAAF School of Radio back then, and saw about 80 of them get thrown (literally) onto the back of a truck, to be sent to auction.

    Pretty surprised at this one.
    It was full of thick dust and the cord was cut.
    I blew out the dust, put a new cord on it and give it a wipe over.
    Since it's full of really old capacitors, I actually put ear muffs on before powering it up ha ha, but it work perfectly, bonus.
    Wonder what it's worth.

    Don't worry. The big bang will occur when you least anticipate it.

    Commonly found in a pantry or the bottom of a fridge, searching for grains, fermented or distilled

    Great find, anything you normally find these days is 3 year old Chinese junk where the caps have already exploded.

    Now all you have to do is find the socket for the TV antenna.
