Ekco U49 | Sold for £40 |  | 1946, large bakelite table set, 3 band. Up market model to the A22, as it had push button preset stations and a proper 2-stage AF amplifier. In many ways the AC only A23 was a better set than the A22, also designed by Wells Coates, but it's not round. So it is not £500+. (It's not an A23 either, it is a U49 which looks identical but is AC/DC, same valve line up as a DAC90.) All good condition, not tested but complete , very slight hairline crack at one side, hard to find but is there.
