Is the radio one a 1/4" headphone jack? If the family was listening to the radio in the living room and you were being antisocial, you could plug in your headphones in your bedroom or whatever, I'm assuming.

They look British, the big jack especially. I think the original
plug of a certain Marconi 702 might have plugged into that one. Gutta-percra coax
insulation!

Eh.... they look like standard North American wall plates. Like the distance between the mounting screws, etc, etc.
