No Longer Available Vintage Mid Century - radiogram 1960-1970 - Ace radio Ltd - Rhyl, North Wales - Model 362s - Argosy - open to offers

[robertonicolo]

I have an Argosy, Model 362s by Ace Radio Ltd that I bought a while ago with the idea to restore it back to its original condition.

Unfortunately, since I moved to central London, I don't have a garage so It's a project that can't go ahead. 

I am open to offers from someone that would ove to go ahed with the project. It'a a are item so it is worth to do it if you have time and space. 

I have attached some pictures of it and the bit of history I managed to find:

Ace Radio Ltd, Tower Works, Tower Road, Pound Lane, Willesden, London, NW10 (in 1946 & 57). Established in 1937. Maker of radios and radiograms and (in 1948) an electric floor polisher.
Opened a factory in Rhyl, North Wales circa 1960. Acquired by Kolster-Brandes Ltd (STC) in 1962. The 1964 “Trader” Year Book shows their address as: Cefndy Road, Rhyl, North Wales.
After KB's parent Standard Telephones and Cables (STC) acquired Ace, Argosy, Regentone and RGD brands in 1962, these brands (with KB) became part of "The Consumer Products Division of STC. 
There was at least one Ace TV fitted with the STC (KB) VC1 chassis.
The 1964 “Trader” year book shows Argosy Radiovision Ltd at Argosy House, Rhyl, North Wales (same location as Ace Radio Ltd).
In 1971, Cefndy Road, Rhyl, North Wales, was the headquarters of ITT Manufacturing Services: ITT Components Group Europe, ITT Manufacturing Services, Cefndy Road, Rhyl, North Wales.
In December 2014, a social housing development was started on the former ITT factory site, where televisions were made, but which has been derelict for several years.

I look forward to hearing from you.
