Goodness, I've just come across this on one of my late night googles, Leonard and Fanny Parkin are my great grandparents and my mum grew up next to them on Olive Grove Road! I'm not sure if you'll see this message but I don't suppose you still have this?

Yes I still have the radio and it now works.  I live in Heeley near Olive Grove Road. Pete

Does anyone know Oliviamarie who I am keen to contact . I have sent her a PM but no reply . Unfortunately , I did not login for 3 months so missed her message above. Her last name might be Larkin but I doubt it.
