1974 Hacker Black Knight RP74FM    (transistor)   
A mint condition, VHF only Hacker radio classic.   You will not find a better Hacker Black Knight than this one.    It's perfect.    Superb sound quality,  FM only radio from almost 50 years ago.   I know  -  I am feeling old too!      Nothing else to say,  its fantastic.

Sorry this one has gone.  Sold

1957 Bush VHF90   (valve)
Here we have a pretty little ivory coloured Bakelite radio ready for to be enjoyed by all  -  having very compact proportions and FM coverage it is no bigger than the earlier DAC90A.    All in well preserved condition throughout.  Fully overhauled,  you cannot really go wrong with this one.   Very sensitive and has two IF stages  -  just the same as the larger Bush  models.   
Antenna - Internal ferrite rod and dipole for VHF.  Sockets included.
Frequency coverage   -  MW and VHF FM
Dimensions 12" wide, 9" high, 7" deep

1955 Philips 543A    (valve)   
Finally we have some new things to share with you all -  it has been a while I know    -  so many things come and go through our workshop before ever getting as far as the website.    Here is a nice sounding all band valve radio  (yes it has VHF FM too) from the wizards at Philips.   Built in a Bakelite cabinet which shines in all the right places.   Before I go on about sound quality and sensitivity I must report a little bit of damage to the cabinet.   Right on the back edge at the top there is a little bit that has flaked out,  it looks almost like a cat had a bite on it!  I doubt that very much but after pondering what to do I decided it was best to leave it as is rather than to try and cover it up.  It is nothing much really  -  have a look at the pictures.    This one covers VHF up to about 102 MHz,  and with a simple wire attached you can also make good use of it on short wave.   Like all Philips of this time period there is plenty of bass available even at low volume levels.  If you fancy a valve radio on a bit of a budget this one is worth considering.     
Antenna - Internal ferrite rod / dipole for FM with sockets. 
Frequency coverage   -  LW / MW / SW / VHF FM
Dimensions 20" wide, 13" high, 8" deep
Price £150   UK Delivery £15       EU / USA please ask for a quote.
Sorry this one is sold.

1959 Roberts R200  (transistor)
This is the earliest version of the R200 portable.  The differences are only on the inside of the case though,  where you will find a different PCB with the OC series of transistors.   That's a good thing  -  as transistors go they are almost indestructible,  and usually only stop working if you put the batteries in the wrong way around.  You can't do that with a PP9.  This example is very much red and it has had a replacement handle fitted.   Good R200's are getting very difficult to find,  especially these early versions.  It really is a super little radio,  and comes highly recommended. Early transistor Roberts radio at it's best.
Antenna - Internal ferrite rod with sockets
Batteries  -  1 of PP9  9V
Dimensions 8.5" wide, 6" high, 3.5" deep

Price £75   UK Delivery £10     EU / USA please ask for a quote.
Sorry this one is sold.

C1970 ITT Schaub Lorenz Touring International (transistor)   
Wow, another mint condition radio, this time from West Germany.   This really is top drawer stuff from ITT,  was their flagship portable at the time and it oozes quality.   All band,  up there with the best of B&O,  Telefunken and Grundig.  It is a mains or battery set,  has a back lit dial.  Fine and  normal tuning and a multitude of tone controls.  Around the back there are also a load o preset controls where you can adjust things like the IF frequency to get rid of heterodyne whistles or connect up other audio devices.   You get 4 SW band spreads,  full VHF FM  and LW / MW  -  it does the lot.  Every bit as good audio as a Hacker Super Sovereign etc.    Supplied with a new mains lead.  No marks or damage,  it is immaculate.   Why am I selling this?  It is my absolute perfect German portable radio.. 
Antenna - Telescopic whip / internal ferrite plus sockets
Frequency Coverage  VHF FM,LW, MW and 4 SW bands
Batteries  -  D cells   or use the built in mains power supply.  Lead supplied
Dimensions 15" wide, 8" high, 3" deep
Price £195      UK Delivery £10    EU / USA please ask for a quote. 
Sorry this one has gone.  Sold

1961 Hacker Mayflower 1  RV14   (valve)
King of Hacker valve models, this is the best one by far of all the Mayflowers.   It is also the hardest one to find!  The RV14 with later push pull output stage and a VHF FM tuner that goes right up to 108 MHz.  VHF only,  no nonsense and fantastic performance.   The cabinet is all original and in good condition.    Very high specification receiver,  you will be pleased... 
Frequency Coverage VHF FM only to 108 Mhz 
Antenna - dipole with sockets for all kinds of things! 
Dimensions 18" wide, 11" high, 7" deep
Price £315   UK Delivery £14  EU etc please ask for a quote.

I am sorry this one has gone.  Lasted all of 12 hours on the site :-)  SOLD!

1956 Bush VHF61   (valve)
British Bakelite at it's best.  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.   Has a brand new bright magic eye too !
Frequency Coverage  VHF FM, LW and MW
Antenna - internals with sockets.
Dimensions 16" wide, 11" high, 8" deep
Price £225
Sorry this one has gone.  Sold.   During November and Dec of 2022 we actually sold seven of this model,  all identical.   Big hit with radio listeners around the UK.   Hopefully more like this available soon.      They take a bit of sorting out but well worth the effort. 

1958 Schaub Lorenz GoldKlang 58   (valve)
Ok it's a special one.  Over the past few weeks whilst this has been on display in the workshop the few customer visitors that we have had in all remarked positively about this radio.   It is lovely.  The audio that is produced is absolutely first class,  now that some work has been carried out on the amp it has to be up there with the best.    The audio stage unusually uses a pair of ECL82 valves,  set up in push pull.  This saves on a few components for the designers but it works so well and does away with extra triode stages.  Speakers,  there are four of them in this model all balanced to give the best possible reproduction.  They are the original Shaub units and each in excellent condition.    There are lots of tone features,  boost / cut switches,  filters,  magic eye tuning,  split drive control for AM and VHF.   Yes it is the full German experience.     The cabinet is very glossy,  it had been re-glazed to some degree before we got it,  there are a few minor blemishes but nothing to take away from this magnificent piece of engineering.   The Germans certainly knew how to make a HiFi valve radio.  Makes almost anything sound good!  Have a good look at the pictures.   

Due to the value and rather huge glass tuning dial I am not going to entrust it to a courier,  it will be either personal delivery (and of course I will set it up for you and give driving lessons if needed) or you can come and collect it from the workshop by arrangement.     
Frequency Coverage LW/MW/SW and VHF FM
Antenna - Internal ferrite + VHF dipole + sockets for SW etc
Dimensions 25" wide, 16" high, 9" deep

Price £650 including UK personal delivery.   
There will be an additional  surcharge of £25 for Cornwall and  £40 for Scottish Highlands.    Afraid delivery outside of the British mainland is going to be a problem, although a meeting at a ferry port can be arranged.   Get in touch to discuss!
Well afraid to say this one has gone.  Sold.
