1958 Saba Wildbad 7   (valve)
Saba were famous for making wonderful valve radios,  if not the very best German sets with multiple speakers generating true HiFi  quality audio.   The Wildbad 7 is no exception to that rule.   This West German all band model,  which is housed in an attractive lacquer finish wooden cabinet has three speakers and lots of tone control adjustments.  VHF FM is particularly good on this example.     It is a lovely thing with the cabinet and trim all original.   Short Wave is also lively on this set,  you can use the internal aerial for strong signal listening or  add some extra wire(  (which is supplied) to give you much better results twiddling around the world to pick up exotic stations.  A cracking set,  I do wish they turned up more often.   Fully overhauled,  new magic eye and ready to go..

C1970  Eddystone EC10 MK2  Receiver
Normally this sort of thing would go on the communications receiver page but I thought a mention here would make a change.   It is not like we have many things for sale at the moment…    There are still loads of things to listen to on short wave radio,  this one covers the lot.

What we have here is the much improved Mk2 version of the classic Eddystone EC10 receiver.  Mk2 has a much better vfo,  with fine tuning control,  an improved IF stage and better all round stability.   This one has had the full works,  all the dodgy transistors have been replaced and it set up properly.  As a stand alone receiver with a built in speaker,  battery operated it it's a pleasure to drive.   Don't expect it to complete with a Racal RA17 on SSB but if you back down the RF gain a bit,  experiment with the AGC then you should be able to resolve signals without much effort.  Condition wise this is all very smart and the battery compartment is corrosion free.    Has the usual counterbalanced silky smooth tuning drive.   The dial is pretty accurate too.    Oh the other thing is it has an S meter! 
 
Batteries required are a set of 8 D Cells.   A set of alkaline types will last a long time.
Antenna  -   best option is to use an outdoors end fed long wire.
Frequency coverage  -  LW through to about 30 MHz.    AM, CW,  SSB

1995  Roberts Revival R250   (transistor + IC)   
Hard to believe that this model is already over 30 years old.    In fact the first Revivals were launched around 1990 which makes me feel ancient.   Anyway here we have nice dark navy blue offering,   all in good working order, having been overhauled in our workshop.  The cabinet is very clean and tidy.   It  is supplied with a suitable 9V linear power supply which means quiet mains operation is possible.    One of the last truly made in England Roberts Radios.   We still get loads sent in for service and repairs like this.    The battery requirements have been modified so that you can use a set of 6 AA batteries instead of the original,  now obsolete 9V PP9.     
Frequency Coverage  LW/MW/VHF FM
Antenna - internals with sockets.
Batteries   6 AA alkaline types recommended
Price £60    UK Delivery £9    EU etc,  just ask. 

1956 Bush VHF61   (valve)
We sold a few of this model over the past months and I am happy to be able to finally offer another one!  Having great sound quality and VHF FM it ticks all the boxes especially now that so many AM stations are closing down.   You can get most FM stations in the UK on this wireless.  Personally I think Bush got it well and truly right with this design,  with excellent performance and a classy cabinet layout.  A valve radio with FM coverage. This example as you can see is in tip top order,  and deserves a prominent spot in your home.  With it's internal aerials for both VHF FM and AM you should be able to locate this almost anywhere with good results.  No damage,  very glossy and original.  It has had a full overhaul and I suspect is now a better performer than it was in 1956.   The magic eye has also been replaced.
Frequency Coverage  VHF FM, LW and MW
Antenna - internals with sockets.
Dimensions 16" wide, 11" high, 8" deep
Price £225   UK delivery £15     (EU/USA etc ask for a quote)
Sorry this one is sold.   
We just got another good original VHF61 in stock to restore,  it will be ready soon.  Drop us a line if you are interested in this item.     

1969/70 Roberts R707  (transistor)
First released in 1969 the R707 was aimed right at the top end of the market.  A direct competitor to Hacker Radio  -  this was pointed straight at the Sovereign customers.   A bit of an engineers nightmare,  replacing the ever faulty IF module is a long winded, painful job.   This one has been fully overhauled,  all dodgy transistors replaced with something reliable.     It's all band and this model is the only one to use a pair of the large 996 6V lantern batteries,  which are commonly available.   Audio quality is superb  -  in this respect the 707 is by far the best radio they ever produced.   This example has been very well looked after.    VHF tunes to just over 104 MHz,  you can tell this is the very first version due to the all black push buttons,  and larger IFT cans on the circuit board.     Beautiful sound quality and condition,  this is the King of Roberts Radios.
The 996 6V lantern battery is still easy to obtain and is manufactured by all the main battery makers  -  you can still get them from most hardware shops.    See below.

Frequency Coverage LW, MW, SW  and VHF FM 
Antenna - internal ferrite etc with sockets.
Dimensions 13" wide 7" high, 4" deep
Batteries 2 6V lantern types.
Price £160   UK Delivery £10     EU / USA etc  please ask for a quote
Sorry this one is sold.     Time to get some more sets ready...

1952 Bush DAC90A    (valve) 
The Mk2 version with slightly different grille material and a green and brown tuning dial.    This glossy example gleams just like a new horse chestnut or as we call them around here,   a conker!    On special offer at the moment :-)      Great for listening to Radio Caroline on 648 KHz if you live in the east or south of England. 
Frequency Coverage LW/MW
Antenna - Internal frame.
Dimensions 12" wide, 9" high, 7" deep
Price  usually £150   now  £115   UK Delivery £14   
Sorry this one is sold.
