The R.G.D. Museum collection is home to
arguably the best collection of products from that illustrious manufacturer. The
museum is still keen to enhance the collection through acquisitions nonetheless.
Anything is considered, even if it appears
that the collection already possesses an example. One or two of the items in the
collection are in poorer condition than the photos might suggest, or have
significant elements missing (eg autochangers, chassis’s etc). In addition,
some component parts are common across several models so can be of use in the
preservation of other equipment. Even if your item is in poor condition it could
still be a good source of spare parts for another example.
As well as complete receivers and hardware
etc, handbooks, advertising, service data, magazine cuttings are also sought,
along with other associated accessories – especially remote control devices
for some of the pre WWII models.
If you have any items for disposal or sale,
please make contact via the following email address.
Please type "RGD" somewhere
in the email subject line so it is easier to differentiate from junk email.
Please note that the R.G.D. Museum cannot
accommodate any items made after R.G.D. was taken over in 1952 (– products
manufactured after 1952 include anything made in Romford).
Shown above is an un-retouched image of a display area of pre-WWII radiograms. From left to right is 1939 model 1015, 1939
