Call for photos/stories - NZ Radios, particularly Radio Corp

Hi all, well the AGM is rolling around again and so I'm making my annual pilgrimage from the back blocks near Christchurch to Auckland.  I'm stopping in Welly to go to the National Archives and the Alexander Turnbull Library to do a bunch of research and expect to be fairly flat-out there for a couple of days at least, I'm also planning to visit Foxton (I want to see the museum there which has eluded me on previous trips through), Palmy North, Whanganui and possibly Waihi on the way up, or the way back and will be in Auckland on the Friday (possibly late) through until the Monday.  Then meandering back down the island to catch the ferry again.

I'd love to get some recommendations of museums / collections to visit on the way - there is one in Blenheim (Brayshaw Park?) which is a ripper - I recommend it and will hopefully stop in again this trip.

I'm bringing a backdrop and cameras and am keen to take photos of radios on my way up and back - for the Radio Corp book I am very specifically looking for the following:

Tidy original (or if its rare, any state at all), or tastefully (no 70's teatowel grillcloths or 80's car radio knobs on 30's sets please) restored sets from the following brands:

Acme (in-house brand for auction sales?)

Audiola (Audiola Radio, 17 Willis St, WGTN)

Bellbird (Wyn Billings)

CQ (Hope Gibbons)

Courtenay (Stewarts, then Courtenay Radio Ltd, then Turnbull & Jones (grumble and groans))

Columbus (Columbus Radio Centres)

Pacific (Pacific Radio Co. Ltd - NOT Akrad unless its very early)

Stella (Cory-Wright & Salmon)

Troubadour (Turnbull & Jones - early made by them, later by Radio Corp)

Philips (Radio Corp models from 1935-36 era)

I've probably missed one in there somewhere - but anything from those brands that fits the Radio Corp requirements I would love to see it. 

I am struggling with 1933 and earlier - the number of surviving sets from their first 3 years seems to be quite low and I'm having trouble locating them.

Also (yep, the list is getting long - so is the book!) Radio Corporation of New Zealand, Special Equipment Division.  Anything from here.  They made a huge array of stuff like distribution amps and intercom systems that went into schools, factories, offices and workshops as well as the test gear they used in their own factory and Radio Centres.  Often the serial numbers are prefixed, typically L.

And if you have stories and or photos of anything related to Radio Corp, the other related businesses or the Radio Centres I would love to see/hear them.

And finally, while the only company in the world that matters is Radio Corp, I'm aware there may have been other companies making not-as-good radios - I am, of course, interested in them too - so I'm keen to get good photos of almost anything Kiwi made to improve the photo archives on the NZ Vintage Radio Project, and potentially make another book when this current one is done.

Cheers, Steve
