It started here , the iconic and rare designed Bush MB60 radio. Originally released in June 1957 and within 6 months the chassis design was up-dated. The reason why these are good is the fact of having a extra I.F stage , this improves sensitivity and selectivity and costing £15 17s 6d pluse purchase tax was quite an investment. This radio has had a lot of work undertaken to bring it back to working condition, the Rexine material has been replaced, the brass polished and the front case re-polished to remove a lot of its poor 60 years of history. The HT and LT supply has been updated with silicon rectifiers and smoothing electroltics where required and all the de-coupling components replaced. Calibration of the I.F stages and RF have been completed . This radio rear cover was so damaged that it could not be re-used, so a early TR rear case cover was found to match the colour of the front was located , though typical of the fragile plastic there are are a few chips to the right lower side, if a perfect example can be located this will be upgraded.

As this is a battery/mains radio and by using an extra valve meant the the heaters could not be in series due to 9.0 Volts required, standard was 7.5 . The radio comes supplied with mains lead a 1 years gurantee.

This radio was found in a family members home and I was informed this was purchased from new hence its condition , first class. No markings to the case, and all original. This is the first of the MB60 models as can be seen by the photo's of the valve layout and that the first models used a Ever Ready B147. What a fantastic collectors  radio and of course these a few years later started the Bush TR series. The radio has had most of the de-coupling capacitors replaced, valves tested (like new) all contacts cleaned , realigned and is as good as the day it first left the factory .Comes complete with  mains lead and 1 years gurantee
