On
June 23rd 2002, Radio London was surprised to be contacted by John
Chapelhow, from the Wigan area, who told us: The Discatron is complete, in what I assume to be the original shipping box. The plain brown box still has its 'Discatron Ltd' label on. The screw-in feet/stands are still in their original plastic bag. The original Vidor batteries show no signs of leakage after storage, they even have a full charge! The card instruction/warranty sheet is present. The
'Gifted Discatron' wrap, which would nominally go around the machine
as a present, is in good condition, although the tacky surface has
ceased to stick!
The silver-work on the Discatron itself and all the plastic is as new. " |

Over
the years, Radio London has been contacted by a number of people who
either owned a Discatron
which they wished to sell, or people who were interested in purchasing
one. However, we had never expected one to turn up in mint condition!
It was also rather surprising that the treasure in question was a competition
prize, because a competition was what prompted the Discatron to be featured
on the Radio London website in the first place. We had never expected
the machine to |

Presenting,
the Gifted Discatron, in all its glory!
