Used to listen to BBC schools programmes on a similar set up, don't
remember what the receiver was. Well I was only 5!

At my school, it was a Truvox radio jack (crystal set) plugged into the
tape recorder. (Schools broadcasts were never at the correct time for
the appropriate period so always a recording.)


We used to have a valve Leak amp, can't remember which one now, but we
also had a Troughline tuner. Was a bit peeved that the science master
couldn't explain what one of they was;!...

I don't think schools stuff was broadcast on FM in my area when I was a
kid. ;-)

But we did have Leak equipment in the main music room. And a Leak pickup -
mono of course. It was all just dumped on a domestic trolley (dumb waiter)
Gawd knows what H&S would make of that today. Speaker looked to be home
made. Think it was all supplied by a local place.
