Radiogram was full of mites!

[Saturlight]

I recall bidding and buying an old radiogram from the 1930s. It was massive, but it was mainly furniture, because when you brought it down to what it was, there was hardly nowt inside.

Anyway, I paid 50p for this dirty thing; a radio, a gramaphone 78 turntable and massive speakers. I had it for two days until the, THEN, girlfriend chucked it out, smashed it up in fact with a hammer.

I don't blame her. It was totally infested with these barely visable wriggly mites called Australian hunchbacks. I know because my, THEN, brother-in-law had one of them analysed by a scientist...

Used to have one of these, a Rigonda Symphony.
Lovely thing with automatic tuning via a large flywheel and motor drive on the tuning knob. Check out the stock speakers it came with.

Lance, this was older than yours, one of the first.

It "mite" be collectable now, if it weren't smashed. Sorry for the mite pun.

Apparently Australian Hunchbacks live off dead skin and dust, not wood. You can see them with a naked eye, with your thong off. They crawl very slowly, and are often mistaken round the house, "as dust specks..." O-no
