Free: Old Stereo System (Colinton Mains EH13) This is a Nesco (Scandinavian Brand) stereo system that I received as a gift when I was a teenager but I haven’t used it in a long,long time so it’s been in a cupboard for many years. Consists of a turntable, CD player, radio and twin cassette players. It still works although I can’t get the CD drawer to open which may be due to it not being used in a long time. Comes with two large 20w speakers. As i seem to recall, they were fairly powerful as my dad used to complain! I have no need for it now and before I dispose of it, I wondered if anybody would be interested in it.
