1937 Marconi 703 "Mastergram" at BVWS RWB

[murphymad]

            Hello All,

At the BVWS Royal Wootton Bassett Auction on the 7th December 2014 we will be offering for sale by Auction a completely original 1937 Marconi 703 "Mastergram" as pictured.

There are only five other 703's known to exist. One of these may be duplicated, so it could just be four!

This has never been seen before by the collector community and is completely fresh to the market after being dry stored and covered over for about 40 years.

It is in very good condition and complete.

Here are a couple of initial pictures of the set. Better ones will appear on the BVWS website with all of the other auction pictures in a couple of weeks time.

Thanks Mike

But sadly no room for such a big thing. It should do well and we all watch with interest.

I suspect you'd need an extra Mortgage as well as the space.
I don't think I'd be able to swing that with SWMBO

Very cute, and I could see my nearest and dearest having an apoplectic fit if I tried to sneak it in the back door.

Assuming it would go through the Back Door.

Can't be worse than old Bendix washing machines.

The LT-dryer is a huge beast. We used to have one when I was a teenager and when I was trusted to fix it I rebuilt the gearbox twice.

The ones we delivered had to be bolted to the floor, on one occasion we had to remove the door frame to get it into a utility room.

The one we had sometimes used to walk across the floor on the odd occasion.
