Bang! I have spent the last hour trying to remember the name of the system I bought to play music on, tapes and the radio.  Silver coloured long line it had that wonderful slow rising lid, like the slow shutting drawers that you now see on kitchen cupboards. It was of course Bang and Olufsen. Something like this.

I had spent two months working at Castle Acre Priory excavation, probably drawing and came back and spent my whole earnings on this sound system.  My son was able to take it back to the shop in Bath, after many years use, and get an up to date record player for his records in exchange. I was sad to see it go but I don't think it worked. 

I still love its line, smooth and sleek it looked grown-up!
