Run by Omega Auctions – who have been granted access to the BBC archives – the listing is filled with rare vinyl, equipment and BBC memorabilia, ready for a hefty series of online sales. The auction is a treasure trove for vinyl collectors and BBC fans.

Things on offer include hard-to-find analogue kits and essential LPs which have been sourced from one of the best music archives in the world. Speaking about the collection, Omega Auctions tweeted: “This does not constitute the entirety of the BBC’s vinyl archive which is very much still intact. This is largely the duplicate copies of LPs – so that collection can be moved and better stored for the future.”

I don't really imagine they use vinyl on air anymore but I suppose they could digitise it to give a more "authentic" sound.
