Heat FM: Case of burnt radio

“Mr Hastie, Dundee, switched on his radiogram last night. Suddenly he noticed a wisp of smoke curling from the back,” read The Post front page.

“He switched off, but by this time flames were leaping from the cabinet. Neighbours rushed to his aid. While they threw buckets of water on the flames, Mr Hastie cut the aerial. The fire brigade was summoned and the fire was soon mastered, but the set was completely burned out.”
