Lots of Bush products this time around.   Why not,  they were one of the best…

Almost sold out of overhauled items for 2011.  Thanks for making this Christmas sales the best one for 5 years!   More items early January.

1956 Bush VHF62 (valve) 
This is the rarer wooden version of the popular Bakelite VHF61,  and has the same chassis. Which means it has an extra IF amplifier stage to increase sensitivity.   It must be at least 3 years since we last had one to offer you.  Good reception on all bands, you are not likely to need anything other than the fitted internal aerials with this model.   The cabinet has survived very well and has its factory finish intact.   Has a new magic eye fitted and sounds great on VHF.   Very useable everyday vintage radio.
Frequency Coverage :- MW / LW / VHF FM
Antenna -  internal ferrite for AM and dipole for VHF FM plus external sockets
Dimensions  18" wide 11" high, 8" deep
Price £145  UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £30 GBP  Sorry this is sold.

1956 Bush VHF61   (valve)
Yes we have another one.  You wait all year for some nice VHF vintage radios and all of a sudden half a dozen turn up.  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 £140  UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £30 GBP  Sorry this is sold.

1937 Pilot U355 (Valve)
Pilot made some nice looking wireless sets fitted in heavy good quality wooden cabinets. This is one of them  -   the U suffix does not mean Universal,  it does have a proper AC mains transformer just in case you are not familiar with Pilot thinking.   Yes they as far as I know were the only company to do that.    The clock face dial is particularly ornate and has each relevant section illuminated depending on what band is selected.  Good sensitivity  and plenty of proper valve audio on tap.   Have a look at the pictures for more.
Frequency Coverage  MW, LW and SW 
Antenna -  wire needed   (supplied)
Dimensions 21" wide, 12" high, 9" deep
Price £250 UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £38 GBP
Sorry this is sold.

1950  Bush PB22  (valve)   
This rather large wireless from Bush is the push button preset and manual tune monster that is the 22.  I really like this design,  and this example is in lovely condition. The cabinet is completely original,  with a perfect Bush logo transfer still up on the top.  It just had a few very light scratches which have now been waxed in to good effect.   Expect top notch audio on all bands which is delivered by a huge 10" Celestion speaker.   You can adjust the preset stations by removing the front panel below the glass dial,  you just move the chrome slide clip out of the way which gives access to the trimmer and antenna adjusters.  Or you can just use it as a "normal" radio and tune in stations as you would with the flywheel balanced tuning knob.    We have another one in stock so if you fancy a pair… 
Frequency Coverage  LW/MW/SW with presets
Antenna - Internal frame with sockets for external wires.   
Dimensions 23" wide, 17" high, 8" deep
Price £130    UK Delivery £20   Most of EU £45 GBP

1954 Bush VHF41  (valve)   
The VHF41 came out in 1954 which made it the first domestic Bush radio with the new VHF FM band coverage. A good little set it is too,  using bits and pieces from the other then current Bush radio and tv models.   For instance the cabinet was borrowed from the AC41.  The IF stages run at 19 MHz (rather than 10.7 MHz for VHF) so that Bush could use up their old TV IF sound transformers!  They used a double EF80 VHF head  (again TV bits) rather than the slightly later double ECC85 triode that found its way into most post 1955 VHF valve radios.   Well that is all a bit technical,  what you need to know is that this example is tip top perfect.  No marks on the original cabinet and lots of warm valve audio on all bands.  Fully overhauled of course.
Frequency Coverage  LW, MW and VHF FM
Antenna -  simple wire aerial needed. 
Dimensions 16" wide, 13" high, 7" deep
Price £145   UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £28 GBP   Sorry this is sold.

1958 Tesla 406U "Vltavia"   (valve)
About time we had a nice wooden table top radio to offer you all, this one is a Czechoslovakian built (at the Prague factory) wireless that would not have originally been sold here in the UK.   This one turned up in Austria many years ago.  I particularly like the unusual wooden grille work with the turned dowel end pieces.  It is all in excellent order bar one of the slats which is a little warped,  nothing serious though. The case still has its original finish and is very presentable.  Electrically like many 1950's Tesla products the chassis is based on the 4 valve UCH21, UBL21 etc Philips line up,  much the same as the Talisman range.  However it is far better laid out and has a switched tone control,  a large speaker and has extra band spread SW  (31M)  coverage.   Sound quality is nice and crisp,  another rare one for the UK.   
Frequency Coverage :- MW / LW / 2 SW   (1 full / 1 BS 31M)
Antenna -  simple wire required. 
Dimensions  16" wide 12" high, 9" deep
Price £100  UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £28 GBP   

1954 Bush AC34 (Valve)
Yet another one of the classic Bush 50's radios,  this is one of their best AM models.  It is well designed, easy to work on and performs well. The large elliptical speaker does a good job. Cabinet wise this one is very good, factory original with a perfect Bush transfer on top. The birds eye maple trim really finishes off the front panel with a touch of class. It has an internal frame aerial which works very well on LW and MW and the stronger SW stations, you need a simple wire aerial to get the most out of short wave. Excellent build and sound quality.
Frequency Coverage :- MW / LW / SW
Antenna - internal frame with sockets.
Dimensions 20" wide, 16" high, 8" deep
Price £130 UK Delivery £13 Most of EU £28 GBP  Afraid this one is sold.

1957 Bush VHF71  (valve)
It must be several years since we last had a nice VHF71 to offer you,  why that is I do not know as they are rightly very popular things.  Much the same cabinet wise as the earlier VHF61 but lighter internally with a simplified chassis  you can still expect excellent sound quality and performance.   This one has a brand new bright magic eye tuning indicator and on the back panel you will find a thumbwheel that turns the internal AM antenna.   For VHF a simple dipole inside the case does the business,  you can always plug in an extra antenna if reception is poor in your location.   Lovely vintage Bakelite radio with the benefit of VHF FM coverage.   
Antenna - Internal ferrite rod / dipole for FM
Frequency coverage   -  LW / MW /VHF FM
Dimensions 16" wide, 11" high, 7.5" deep
Price £140  UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £28 GBP    Sorry this is sold.

1953 Bush AC31  (valve) 
A baby wooden Bush radio,  the smallest of all their 1950's models built into a wooden case.   The cabinet is smart,  it had been refinished to a reasonable standard before arriving here  -  certainly looks quite acceptable to have in the house!  Audio quality is good and despite being a short superhet it works very well on LW and MW,  with the bonus of SW (although a good length of wire will be needed to get the most out of this band on any AC31).   Uses a clever set of valves to get the most out of three "bottles" and a rectifier.  Plenty of wireless fun to be had out of this little radio. 
Frequency Coverage :- LW / MW / SW
Dimensions 16" wide, 13" high, 7" deep
Antenna -   simple wire for LW / MW  -  maybe a bit longer for good SW.
Price £75    UK Delivery £13   Most of EU £28 GBP    Sold.

1945 Ferranti 145   (valve) 
This is the first post war model that Ferranti of Manchester produced.  Talk about starting off with a good one !  The 145 is one of those radios that is quite sort after  -  most likely due to it's appealing Bakelite cabinet.  It certainly works well too, especially since we fully re-aligned it.  It's surprising how far old radios drift out of alignment over the years.  Some are worse than others! Anyway lots of good points for you here.  The case for starters is perfect.  It has no cracks and as you can see is nice and glossy.   The same goes for the tuning dial which still looks factory fresh,  this must have been a non smokers wireless.  The 4 control knobs are the originals.  This one even has its original back panel which is a first for us.  For some reason the 145 always seems to have it missing!   I think the last 5 we have had over the past 10 years have needed a replacement making up but thankfully not this one.  Audio wise I think it's well above par and the tone control works quite effectively.  The chassis is clean and tidy and it's still running on the original energised speaker.  6V6G provides the output.   Grab yourself a genuine Ferranti Jelly Mould!
Frequency Coverage  LW/MW/SW
Antenna - simple external wire needed
Dimensions 13" wide, 17" high, 9" deep

1951  Bush Mk1 DAC90A    (valve)
Yet another lovely Bush DAC90A radio.   We have several more good ones in  stock,  just the thing for a nice Christmas present.  All can be made ready as required.   This example is the MK1 version,  from 1951.  You can tell this by the colour scheme of the tuning dial and speaker grille.  All in excellent order,  shiny as a new pin and damage free.  As small Bakelite radios go,  the 90A has to be one of the best.     
Frequency Coverage  LW/MW
Antenna - Internal frame.
Dimensions 12" wide, 9" high, 7" deep

1950  Bush DAC90A    (valve)
This is the ivory white version of the 90A,  free from any cracks or damage.  Not many about in this sort of condition now  -  most have hairline stress cracks in the top of the case.   Get yourself a perfect one.  Santa is calling...

1959 Bush TR82B  (Transistor)   
It has been quite a while since we featured a good old Bush TR82 on the website, they are getting harder to find in good condition.  This is the early version which must have been manufactured in the first year of production.  B trim models have brown side panels and brass fittings. 
Antenna - Internal ferrite rod with sockets.

1957 Ekco C273 Console VHF (Valve)   
If you want a fantastic sounding,  great looking piece of period furniture then look no further.  Valve radios do not sound any better than this.  The VHF only C273 is simply the best.  In it's day it cost an absolute fortune  -  it's easy to see why.  Why do they sound so good?  Well it's down to two things really,  the heavy wooden cabinet and baffle arrangement (sealed from the rear) and the multi speaker Goodmans set-up you will find inside it.  Other things to consider is that it's VHF only,  so you don't have AM circuits cluttering up the chassis and signal paths,  and each valve just does one job  -  therefore not having to compromise performance.  Volume wise you can really make the windows rattle and it's unlikely you will need anything other than the built in antenna.  When the overhaul was completed, to finish the job off we fitted a new magic eye tuning indicator.   All trim is original and perfect,  even the cloth is clean.  Highly recommended,  don't miss this opportunity!   

The photos shown here are stock from our last C273 radio we sold.  This one is almost ready to be photographed,  it is in the same high standard original finish.   New photos will be uploaded shortly.

1951 Bush SUG26  (valve)  console receiver
Wonderful example of this hi powered and hi fidelity console receiver.  The wooden cabinet has it's completely original finish intact and as you can see not looking anything like the age of this well made piece of British engineering.  Not much of that these days eh?   Has a pair of Push Pull EL41 valves in the output stage,  which develop about eight watts.  That's valve watts and not those feeble semiconductor watts that are around in this day and age!  Eight "valve" watts can fill a large room with this machine and the huge Celestion speaker handles the output very well.   Even though this speaker is large I found the treble response very pleasing,  there is some clever feedback arrangement in the audio stage which helps with this.   SW performance is lively.  All in all a lovely wireless,  find it a prominent place in your house to show off. Fully overhauled as you would expect, plus we fitted a new matched pair of EL41 output and EBC41 driver valves just to get the absolute best out of the console.  Remember you do not need a lot of room for a console receiver or a shelf for that matter...

1934 Ekco AC85 
One of the first in a great line of superb Bakelite case designs this early superhet was quite a success when it went into production in late 1934.   This was a good find.  Like most early Ekcos  (the round ones included) the AC85 is not the most sensitive design,  although now that we've given the RF and IF stages the once over it's working very well.  This model has lots of clever electronics,  one might say over complicated but the results are pleasing enough.  You have a control on the front panel which alters the gain so that if you wish you can reject weaker stations and annoying noises on MW and LW.  In practice I tend to keep the gain up,  unless of course you just want to hear the strong BBC stations on AM.  Tone control is by a plug and wire with three positions on the back of the set  -  this primitive method was replaced in the later AC86 with a proper switched front panel control.   The Bakelite case is perfect,  very glossy with no damage or scratches.   It all looks rather lovely really  -  a few bits to mention.  The speaker cloth has been replaced with a near match and the actual speaker had been replaced long ago with a celestion permanent magnet type.   This works well and produces good quality audio.   Complete with the proper mains connector,  a perfect back panel and a highly polished walnut Bakelite case. It's a classic.
Frequency Coverage  LW, MW
Antenna -  reasonable wire antenna needed for best results  (wire supplied)

1935 GEC AC Mains 4  BC3630  (valve)
Getting back a bit with this nice AC mains Bakelite GEC TRF.  Yes it is a TRF with a proper capacitive reaction control.  So you have to drive this one,  get it right and there is plenty of good quality audio.   Over do the reaction and every cat in a 100 yard radius will have a headache.   Made to howl!   The reaction control also doubles up as a tone control  -  as the gain is increased the audio bandwidth is narrowed.   No AGC either being a TRF so you also need to adjust the volume control more often between stations.    It will play all day long though once tuned in and adjusted for optimum and as there is no IF amplifier the receiver is very quiet.   Things to note trim wise there is a little chip out of one knob and the case has a minor chip out of one back edge.  The chrome metal bars up front have some pitting in the finish.  However it has survived well given its age.  There are not many Bakelite TRF's left.  Very nice set.
Frequency Coverage  MW, LW

1954 Bush AC41   (valve)   
This is the baby wooden Bush radio.  It's in good condition too,  that glossy finish you see is original  -  just as it was some 50 or so years ago.  Like all the other Bush radios in the AC34/41 range performance is very good, with plenty of sensitivity and more than enough warm sounding audio.   You don't need much room for an AC41,  it's an ideal everyday bit of radio history that will look the part in any house.   Also has short wave coverage which means you'll never run out of something to listen to.  Highly recommended.
Frequency Coverage  LW, MW and SW
