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)   

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.

Roberts R707  (transistor)
Decisions decisions.   Well I was in the mood to battle with R707 IF modules and decided to do another full overhaul to tempt folk with  -  this is the slightly later version which is basically the same internally but has the later badge style and metal cap buttons.  Still powered by the same pair of 6V batteries which I mentioned above.   Excellent all round example.    They really are fab radios.

1952 Bush DAC90A    (valve)
